The Puritans in America: A Narrative AnthologyAlan Heimert, Andrew Delbanco Harvard University Press, 2009/07/01 - 456 ページ The whole destiny of America is contained in the first Puritans who landed on these shores, wrote de Tocqueville.

Exiled from England, the Puritans settled in what Cromwell called “a poor, cold, and useless” place—where they created a body of ideas and aspirations that were essential in the shaping of American religion, politics, and culture. |
