Bro, it's the middle of the 17th century
May. 9th, 2015 07:18 amPossibly my favorite paragraph in Katherine Grandjean's "American Passage" (I recommend the whole book).
>>"Deare Bro: We gott the last night in good time to Concord," reported Wait Winthrop, mid-journey in 1663, "and now we are going to take hors for Nipmong." << (Grandjean, 2015, p 144)
The area between English settlements in CT and MA still belonged to the Nipmuck people. The Bro in question was Fitz-John. They were grandsons of Mass Bay Colony founder John Winthrop.
