Summary
In English Ways traces the essential continuity in community experience as English people moved from the mother country to Massachusetts in the seventeenth century. Concentrating on the towns of Rowley, Hingham, Newbury, Ipswich, and Watertown, David Grayson Allen shows how Massachusetts communities not only persisted in English ways in general but also perpetuated certain distinctive features of local English law and custom
