Book excerpt: In nineteenth-century settler colonies such as Upper Canada, New South Wales and New Zealand, governors not only administered, they stood at the head of colonial society and ordered the festivities and ceremonies around which colonial life centred. Governors were expected to be repositories of political wisdom and constitutional lore. Governors and Settlers explores the public and private beliefs of governors such as Sir Thomas Brisbane, Sir John Colborne, Sir George Grey and Lord Elgin as they struggled to survive in colonial cultures which both deified and vilified their personal qualities.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Family of William Leete, One of the First Settlers of Guilford, Conn., And Governor of New Haven and Connecticut Colonies Little was known in this country respecting the antecedents of the Leete family (descendants of Wm. Leete) in America, until the recep tion here, quite recently, of an interesting volume, entitled The Family of Leete. This book was printed in London, in 1881, for private circulation, and was generously sent to public libraries in this country by Joseph Leete, Esq. Of Eversden, South Norwood Park, S. E. Surrey, England. To this book we are indebted for most that we know of the family history anterior to the emigration of Wm. Leete to this country in 1639.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first domestic settlement, the Maine, is one of the earliest historic sites yet excavated in the Chesapeake region. It appears to have been occupied during the dying gasps of Virginia company control. The study of the site and artifacts shows that the Maine barely survived its first decade. Insubstantial dwellings, portable goods, and casual disposal of the dead suggest the impermanence of the settlement and lend credence to the historians' 'Boomtown' theory for the 1620s. The terminal dates of recovered artifacts show that his early 'subberb' of Jamestown expired shortly after the Indian massacre of 1622.
