EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from the 19th century takes us back to a significant moment in American history - the arrival of Puritans in New Haven, 1638. Reverend John Davenport and his devoted followers gather together for their first Sunday worship at Quinnipiac, which is now known as present-day New Haven. The image beautifully captures the essence of this historic event. In this print, we see men and women dressed in traditional English attire, reflecting their origins as colonists. The congregation is assembled amidst a serene forest backdrop, symbolizing the untouched wilderness that awaited them upon their arrival. Reverend Davenport stands tall as he delivers his sermon with conviction and passion, guiding his flock towards spiritual enlightenment. The scene evokes a sense of unity and determination among these early settlers who sought religious freedom on North American soil. Their faith was unwavering as they established a new settlement and formed a tight-knit community rooted in Puritan values. This wood engraving serves as an important reminder of our nation's roots and the struggles faced by those who paved the way for future generations. It allows us to reflect upon our own journey while appreciating the sacrifices made by these brave individuals who ventured into unknown territory to create a better life for themselves and future Americans.
