| Abstract
|
:
|
"We know surprisingly little about the way news and people traveled in early America. No postal service or newspapers existed-- not until 1704 would readers be able to glean news from a 'public print.' But there was, in early New England, an unseen world of letters, travelers, rumors, and movement. Unearthing that early American communications frontier, American Passage retells the story of English colonization as less orderly and more precarious than the quiet villages of popular imagination"--Provided by publisher.
