12 Early Settlers of North America
About This Novel
In the 17th century, groups of British immigrants crossed the Atlantic Ocean and rushed to the North American continent after a long and dangerous voyage. They had different purposes, either pursuing wealth, longing for freedom, being loyal to the king, or wanting to change their destiny... The fanatical Christopher Newport, with a dream of getting rich, frantically searched for gold in the North American wilderness, and strongly encouraged the British people to establish a North American colony. Puritan Robert Cushman risked arrest by contacting the Mayflower, and led a group of Puritans who could not endure religious persecution to cross the ocean to the "New World." The poor Edward Furniford, like many poor British people who hoped to change their destiny, was bewitched by the beautiful legends of America, plucked up the courage, and left his homeland. ...These immigrants are the ancestors of many white Americans today. They established a series of North American colonies and also built the spiritual core of today's Americans. Open this book and learn about the spiritual origins of Americans from the stories of 12 early North American immigrants.
