Primary documents from a pivotal colonial era; explore Edward Randolph’s correspondence and official papers that shaped New England governance between 1685 and 1689, including the vacating of the Massachusetts Bay charter and the rise of Dominion rule.
This volume collects Randolph’s letters, commissions, petitions, and government orders as he navigates royal authority, colonial councils, and local resistance. The pages reveal the tensions between New England colonies and the Crown, the administrative maneuvering in Boston and Plymouth, and the shifting power after Andros takes command. It’s a window into how colonial administration was built, challenged, and redefined.
