Insubordinate Spirit: A True Story of Life and Loss in Earliest America 1610-1665

The story of Elizabeth Winthrop (daughter-in-law of John Winthrop) takes us through four marriages, seven children and surviving multiple battles to protect her land, her religion, and her life. Author Missy Wolfe's ability to bring to life the turmoil of the earliest days of  Connecticut, telling the stories of not just the victors (the English) but the other settlers struggling to find a foothold in the New World, makes this an especially interesting glimpse into American history.
