Excerpt from The Romantic Story of the Puritan Fathers: And Their Founding of New Boston and the Massachusetts Bay Colony Together With Some Account of the Conditions Which Led to Their Departure From Old Boston and the Neighbouring Towns in England

Now set in, as the result of happenings in Lincolnshire, the Puritan emigration which took out to the American continent those sturdy men from Old Boston and the neighbourhood who gave to the New Boston its name and helped to build up the Massachusetts Settle ments. It was a grand, if hazardous, enter prise Ou which these pioneers embarked. We know how it was realised. Pilgrim and Puri tan alike had a hand in the work accomplished. What the Pilgrim began the Puritan carried forward to a full development. Well may Gainsborough and its vicinity, and, more par ticularly, Boston of the Lincolnshire centres, be proud of their share in the achievement; and well may these historic homes Of a mighty race, the mother Boston especially, fill the warm place they do in American hearts.
