Adrian Tinniswood traces the fortunes of the Rainborowe family across two generations, connecting the turbulent worlds of seventeenth-century England and colonial New England.
Following merchant-mariner William Rainborowe and his family, the book explores seafaring, Puritan beliefs, the English Civil War and the search for a new society across the Atlantic. Drawing on contemporary documents and manuscripts, it combines family biography with political, religious and maritime history.
Illustrated with historical portraits, prints and maps, and includes a family tree. An interesting read for those drawn to Stuart Britain, early American settlement and the people behind the English Civil War.
