Place reservation for Between two worlds : how the English became Americans'Between Two Worlds' is a story teeming with people on the move, making decisions, indulging or resisting their desires and dreams. In the 17th century a quarter of a million men, women, and children left England's shores for America. Some were explorers and merchants, others soldiers and missionaries; many were fugitives from poverty and persecution. All, in their own way, were adventurers, risking their lives and fortunes to make something of themselves overseas. They irrevocably changed the land and indigenous peoples they encountered - and their new world changed them. But that was only half the story.
