Notes
The company was founded in 1630 by a group of puritan grandees as an attempt to confront the national enemy, Spain, and begin the building of a foundation for English economic independence. Surviving papers include the records of company meetings, official and unofficial letters and reports and the diary of the last governor, Captain Nathaniel Butler. Though the colony was a failure, "extinguished" by the Spanish in 1641, the idea of a strong English presence in the West Indies continued. Introduction by Professor Karen Ordahl Kupperman, University of Connecticut.
