Old Times in the Colonies

About this film

LibriVox recording of Old Times in the Colonies by Charles Carleton Coffin. Read in English by Keith Salis. The discovery and establishment of a new continent! Who owns it? What will you do with it? How shall it be ruled? How shall a sovereign gain a benefit from it? These questions and more are detailed in an engaging, often witty, and bluntly direct way by Mr. Coffin in, "Old Times in the Colonies." He looks back-and-forth at the many aspects of European life that led many to risk everything to try for better across the ocean. In the process, the reader will get a better understanding of what is meant by, "Separation of Church and State," and get a feel for how religion - free and authoritarian - played its part in shaping the lives of those who came. - Summary by Keith Salis For further information, including links to online text, reader information, RSS feeds, CD cover or other formats (if available), please go to the LibriVox catalog page for this recording.
