THE MAKING OF NEW ENGLAND
1580-1643
by Samuel Adams Drake
With many illustrations and maps
Charles Scribner's Sons (1894)
Fascinating old 19th century book covering the mystic coast of codfish, Cabot's voyage, North Virginia, Gosnold's colony, Popham Colony, discovery of Lake Champlain, old Maine, the doom of the red men, pilgrims and their halberds, Standish's sword, Boston bay, the Pequot War, the White Mountains, the pioneers of Connecticut and much more. Great old drawings and smart text—a wonderful book to have on hand in a rustic lodge or cabin as a reference on historic New England.

Welcome! I'm Mary aka Maryesterday, a gal who has lived as a vintage "time traveler" for over 20 years. The past? I'm there! In order to fuel my passion for all things vintage, forgotten, antique, mysterious, and mid-century modern, I've turned this into my full time business -- I support myself by sharing great finds and lost treasures I unearth in my real-life retro adventures. I'm here on eBay to share them with you.
