Beschreibung zu „Old New England Traits“
"Old New England Traits" by various and edited by George Lunt
Through history, New England has been spoken of as devoid of the elements of romance; but a similar impression has prevailed in respect to Roman history and literature, whether fabulous or otherwise; and the fathers of New England, at least, have been thought to have exhibited some of the traits, especially the simplicity and severity of character, which distinguished those more ancient worthies, whose names and deeds have been so long famous. This book explains the history of New England and the way the culture and society changed as it developed.
