"The English-American, His Travail by Sea and Land: or, A New Survey of the West India’s" by Thomas Gage is a historical account written in the mid-17th century. This work details Gage's extensive travels across various regions in America, outlining his journey through places such as Mexico and Guatemala. It explores not only the lands and cultures he encountered but also delves into themes of religion, colonialism, and the complexities of the Spanish Catholic Church during his time. At the start of the book, Gage reflects on his life, including his education and previous twelve-year stint in New Spain, where he was deeply influenced by his experiences in the Romish religion. He expresses a desire to share his knowledge of the Americas with his fellow Englishmen, emphasizing that little has been documented about these regions since their conquest. The opening portion sets the stage for Gage’s recounting of his travels and illustrates his motivations for writing, including a mix of gratitude for his conversion and a yearning to reveal the realities of life in America, including its wealth and the myriad dangers faced by its inhabitants and foreigners alike.
