During that time period, the movement had spread to America from England. They were called Puritans because they sought to purify the Church of England of the popish and antichristian things with which they believed the simplicity of the primitive Christian church had been encrusted.

My family, the Wright’s, were among the first Puritans to arrive in Massachusetts in the seventeenth century.

Not all New England colonists were Puritans, but the Puritan religion was a major influence in the seventeenth-century New England way of life.

The entire work is centered on Mary Rowlandson and her experience in captivity instead of a general experience of English men under captivity of Native Americans.
