Emigrants : why the English sailed to the New World
Evans, J. R. (James Richard), 1975-2018
Books
'Emigrants' casts light on an unprecedented population shift - a phenomenon that not only helped shape modern America, but continues to shape the modern world. James Evans uses contemporary sources from diaries, court hearings and letters to bring many of the individual emigrants' diverse stories to life, and uncovers the fascinating reasons behind why so many people left England for a new life in an unknown part of the world.
