From Kingdom To Colony is a historical novel written by Mary Devereux and published in 1899. The book tells the story of the colonization of the New World by the English, focusing on the experiences of one family as they leave their comfortable life in England to settle in the American colonies.The novel begins in the early 1600s, when England is still a kingdom ruled by the Tudor dynasty. The protagonist, Lady Margaret, is a young noblewoman who falls in love with a young man named John, who is determined to make his fortune in the New World. Despite her family's objections, Lady Margaret decides to accompany John on his journey, and the two of them set sail for the colonies.Once they arrive, Lady Margaret and John face a series of challenges as they try to establish themselves in the new land. They must deal with harsh weather, unfamiliar terrain, and hostile Native American tribes. They also struggle to adapt to the new social and political structures of the colonies, which are very different from the rigid hierarchy of the English court.Throughout the novel, Lady Margaret and John's relationship is tested by these challenges, but they remain committed to each other and to their dream of building a new life in America. As the story unfolds, readers get a vivid sense of what life was like for the early English colonists, and how their experiences shaped the history of the United States.Overall, From Kingdom To Colony is a fascinating historical novel that offers a unique perspective on the early years of American history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the colonial period, or in the experiences of women and families in the early years of the New World.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
