Puritans in Colonial America
Resource Page
N our study of the
Puritan Mind in North America and in England, we noted that a simple
definition of Puritan would not enable us to get more than a glimpse
into the culture. In order to offer the students of this period a more comprehensive
view, I have gathered what I believe to be the most reliable and informative
WWW resources and offer them here for your consideration. As Palo Alto College
students just beginning using the internet for your research and course
materials, you will find these sources adequate for your assignments, critical
papers, and class discussions. Remember that you are the last stop, as it
were, along the critical thinking internet highway. Please review the evaluation information
offered at the beginning of the course.
