Creating the commonwealth : the economic culture of Puritan New England

This reinterpretation of America's cultural roots in the colonial past looks at enterprise in early New England and its relation to the prevailing culture of Puritanism. It covers the region's ironworks, fisheries, shipyards and the "scums and dreggs" who provided the labour for Puritan enterprise.
