Englishmen Transplanted
Larry Gragg challenges the prevailing view of the seventeenth-century English planters of Barbados as architects of a social disaster.

Alison Games analyzes the 7,500 people who traveled from London in that year, recreating individual careers, exploring colonial societies at a time of emerging viability, and delineating a world sustained and defined by migration. The colonial travelers were bound for the major regions of English settlement -- New England, the Chesapeake,...
