Title
Insubordinate Spirit: A True Story Of Life And Loss In Earliest America 1610-1665 - Paperback
by Missy Wolfe (Author)
Insubordinate Spirit is a unique exploration into the life of Elizabeth Winthrop and other seventeenth-century English Puritans who emigrated to the rough, virtually untouched wilderness of present-day New England. Excerpts from newly discovered personal diaries and correspondence provide readers with not only fascinating insights into the hardships, dangers, and losses inherent to English and Dutch settlers in the 1600s, but also first-hand descriptions of the local Native Americans' family life, allegiances, and society. Caught between the unendurable expectations of her Puritan relatives and land disputes with the neighboring Dutch, Elizabeth Winthrop demonstrated a tremendous strength of resolve to protect her own family and remain true to her heart.

The traumatic life of Elizabeth Winthrop, one of America's earliest founders, challenged her family, her society, and her own soul. In response to intense pressures, she helped forge some admirable and some quite uncomfortable new directions for our country. Insubordinate Spirit explores Elizabeth Winthrop's life in 1600s America with the utopian English Puritans, the merchant Dutch, and the inflamed native Munsee. Her violent and troubled Eden springs to life through newly translated correspondence, previously undiscovered documents, and a wealth of recent scholastic research. Elizabeth's remarkable story provides fascinating insights into the physical and intellectual hardships, dangers, and conflicts faced by all three cultures at this time, and their tragic combustion within New Netherland.
