| 520 | _a"Margaret Smith's Journal" by John Greenleaf Whittier is a historical account written in the late 19th century that offers a vivid portrayal of life in New England during the 17th century. The narrative unfolds through the eyes of its titular character, Margaret Smith, who documents her experiences and thoughts as she navigates the complexities of her new life in the Massachusetts Bay Colony after a challenging voyage from England. The opening of the journal reveals Margaret's heartfelt promise to her cousin Oliver to keep a record of her life and the marvels she encounters. She begins her narrative in Boston, recounting her feelings of homesickness and joy upon her arrival in the new land. As she settles down with her relatives, the Rawson family, she reflects on her interactions with the local community, including the stern magistrates and charming young men like Robert Pike and Sir Thomas Hale, both of whom show interest in her cousin Rebecca. The early entries provide insights into the socio-religious dynamics of the time, including Margaret's observations of the indigenous people, her cousin's suitors, and the role of women within both family and society. Overall, the opening portion sets the stage for a richly detailed exploration of colonial life, personal relationships, and the contrasts between Old World customs and the New England frontier.
