New England Canaan, descriptive work by
Thomas Morton, subtitled
New Canaan, Containing an Abstract of New England, published at Amsterdam (1637). The first part deals with the Indians, the second with the natural endowments of the country, and the third with the settlements there and the attack of the Plymouth colonists upon Morton's colony of
Merry Mount. In a highly diverting style, Morton tells his side of the quarrel and satirizes the Pilgrims, particularly Myles Standish, the leader of the attack upon him, whom he calls Captain Shrimp.
