Emigrants : why the English sailed to the New World / James Evans. by Evans, J. R. (James Richard), author. London : Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 2017. Description:  314 pages, 16 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations, maps (some color) ; 25 cm Summary:  During the course of the seventeenth century nearly 400,000 people left Britain for the Americas, most of them from England. Crossing the Atlantic was a major undertaking, the voyage long and treacherous. There was little hope of returning to see the friends and family who stayed behind. Why did so many go? A significant number went for religious reasons, either on the Mayflower or as part of the mass migration to New England; some sought their fortunes in gold, fish or fur; some went to farm tobacco in Virginia, a booming trade which would enmesh Europe in a new addiction. Some went because they were loyal to the deposed Stuart king, while others yearned for an entirely new ambition - the freedom to think as they chose. Then there were the desperate: starving and impoverished people who went because things had not worked out in the Old World and there was little to lose from trying again in the New. EMIGRANTS casts light on this unprecedented population shift - a phenomenon that underpins the rise of modern America. Using contemporary sources including diaries, court hearings and letters, James Evans brings to light the extraordinary personal stories of the men and women who made the journey of a lifetime.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Peosta Library Circulation Stacks 304.873 Eva 2017 Checked In Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
