"Every Day Life in the Massachusetts Bay Colony" by George Francis Dow is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work provides a detailed exploration of daily life and customs during the early years of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the 17th century. Through a compilation of source materials, it serves to illuminate the social practices, household arrangements, and living conditions of the early settlers. The opening of the book presents an insightful preface that establishes the context for the detailed examination of life in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. It highlights the challenges of recording daily activities, acknowledging that much of the specifics of everyday life during that time have faded into obscurity. The author introduces materials that illustrate the preparation and conditions of the voyage to New England, emphasizing the importance of proper provisioning for both the sea journey and subsequent settlement. Through quotations from historical figures like Rev. Francis Higginson, we gain insights into what early settlers brought with them, underscoring the practicalities and hardships faced in the transition from England to the New World.
