Description
"A Puritan from England, John ELiot emigrated to America in 1631. Settled in Roxbury in present day Massachusetts, he preached to the native people of Southern New England and formed several praying towns for his native converts. Natick was the first. John Eliot's missionary work was a success and more expansion could be expected, but disaster struck.
