Profits in the Wilderness: Entrepreneurship and the Founding of New England Towns in the Seventeenth Century - Published by the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture and the University of North Carolina Press
John Frederick Martin
In examining the founding of New England towns during the seventeenth century, John Frederick Martin investigates an old subject with fresh insight. He demonstrates that colonists sought profits in town-founding, that town founders used business corporations to organise themselves into landholding bodies, and that multiple and absentee landholding was common.
