Book Description

Excerpt from Little Journeys to the Homes of Great Reformers: Anne Hutchinson When land was sighted, and at last the Grifiin passed slowly through the mouth of the harbor, all disputes were forgotten and a joyous service of thanksgiving was held. I said all disputes were forgotten - two men, however, remembered J These men were Rev. John Lathrop and Rev. Zacharius Symmes. They felt hurt, grieved, injured -the woman had usurped their place, and besprinkled their sacred office with disrespect, at least they thought so. ([when anchor was dropped, they were among the first to clamber over the side, and pull for the shore. They sought out John Winthrop, Governor of the Colony, and told him to beware of that Hutchinson woman - she had a tongue that was double edged. John Winthrop smiled and guessed that a woman with fifteen children could not help but be a blessing to the Colony. The two ministers drew down long Puritan visages and thought otherwise.
