Insubordinate Spirit: A True Story of Life and Loss in Earliest America 1610-1665 by Missy Wolfe
From the Back Cover
The traumatic life of Elizabeth Winthrop, one of America’s
earliest founders, challenged her family, her society, and her own soul.
In response to intense pressures, she helped forge some admirable and
some quite uncomfortable new directions for our country.
Insubordinate Spirit
explores Elizabeth Winthrop’s life in 1600s America with the utopian
English Puritans, the merchant Dutch, and the inflamed native Munsee.
Her violent and troubled Eden springs to life through newly translated
correspondence, previously undiscovered documents, and a wealth of
recent scholastic research. Elizabeth’s remarkable story provides
fascinating insights into the physical and intellectual hardships,
dangers, and conflicts faced by all three cultures at this time, and
their tragic combustion within New Netherland.
