A comprehensive, documentary history of New England from European discovery to the first General Congress of the Anglo-American colonies, Volume III.

This volume assembles careful narrative crosses with detailed chapter-by-chapter progress through governance, charter disputes, colonial policy, and early conflicts that shaped the region’s path into the eighteenth century.

Readers will follow the political life of Massachusetts and neighboring colonies as power shifts, charters are tested, and local authorities negotiate with England. The book blends chronological events with portraits of leaders, the evolution of legal and administrative structures, and the tensions that preceded broader colonial union. It illuminates how colonial institutions, war, diplomacy, and religion intersected in daily life and long-range strategy.

Clear outlines of key administrations, charters, and governance
Accounts of political debates, legislation, and intercolonial relations
Context for conflicts with France, Indian nations, and competing colonial claims
Insights into the development of colonial law, education, and church establishment

Ideal for students, researchers, and readers seeking a focused, source-based view of early New England politics and society.
