Some Three Hundred Years Ago

Some Three Hundred Years Ago by Edith Gilman Brewster is about the heroic acts of children during a time when Native Americans and English settlers fought and traded. Excerpt: «This new world they tell me of, my boy, must be a wonderful place. Those Puritan leaders, Bradford and Standish three years ago, in 1620, took their followers to New England to worship as they pleased. And now the Laconia Company, of which our own Governor, John Mason, is a member, has been given a grant of land there.» «What can he do with it, father?» Roger asked. «They say, lad, the furs of those forests and the fish of those waters would make a big business for England.»
