Book Description

Excerpt from Genealogy of the Descendants of John Eliot, "Apostle to the Indians," 1598-1905 In conclusion, we venture to express the hope that this work will serve to draw the family more closely together, that the examples of exalted faith and noble endeavor crowned by suc cess herein chronicled may spur us to renewed enthusiasm and better achievement, for as E. A. Freeman has justly said, The inheritance of a really great name is an inheritance which should be matter not of pride, but of responsibility.
