William Leete: Co-Founder of Guilford is a historical biography written by Charles Lewis Biggs. The book tells the story of William Leete, one of the co-founders of the town of Guilford, Connecticut. The narrative begins with Leete's early life and education in England, including his time at Oxford University. It then follows his journey to America as a young man, his involvement in the founding of Guilford, and his subsequent career as a prominent figure in the town's government and society.Throughout the book, Biggs uses primary sources such as letters, court records, and town documents to provide a detailed and accurate account of Leete's life and achievements. He also places Leete's story in the context of the broader historical events of the time, including the Puritan migration to New England, the Pequot War, and the establishment of the Connecticut Colony.Overall, William Leete: Co-Founder of Guilford is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history of early America and the founding of one of its most important towns.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
