Item Information
- Title:
- Here lies buried John Winthrop
- Description:
-
To this the Massachusetts Bay Company agreed, and John Winthrop, a gentleman of wealth and education, one of the strongest and most admirable characters in the pioneer history of America, was chosen governor. Thomas Dudley was chosen deputy governor. A party of three hundred has been sent to join Endicott at Salem, and in April of the next year, 1630, Winthrop himself embarked, with a large company, for the New World. Winthrop has brought with him the charter, and this was the first step in a very important proser. Some time after landing, Winthrop found a clear spring of water on a peninsula called Shawmut, and there he took his abode, founded a town, and called it Boston. Newtown, now Cambridge, was the first capital, but Boston was soon cosen as a seat of government. King's Chapel Burial Ground, Tremont and School Streets, Boston, Massachusetts.
