I would like to thank the History of Chemistry Division of the American Chemical Society for its support of a symposium on chemistry in America before 1876. I would also like to thank my co-organizers, Ed Cook and Seth Rasmussen. The primary source research for this work has benefitted from the extensive collection of Winthrop Family papers by the Massachusetts Historical Society. I would like to thank Trevor Levere, Louise Palmer and Seth Rasmussen for careful reading and good suggestions for improvement.
The world of 17th century New England is introduced. The five worlds of John Winthrop, the Younger, are introduced: Political, Religious, Scientific, Industrial and Social. The key characters in this fascinating drama are identified.
Chemistry was being practiced in New England long before the Puritans arrived in Massachusetts to create a commonwealth in the wilderness []. The Massachusetts Historical Society has collected the papers and correspondence of many generations of Winthrops. John Winthrop, Sr., was the first Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Company; John Winthrop, Jr., was the Governor of Connecticut; both sons of John Winthrop, Jr., became Governors in New England, and many famous Winthrops are buried in the Kings Church graveyard in Boston. The present book is hardly the first to tell this story, and I hope it is not the last, but now is an excellent time to advance our understanding of the role of chemistry in the development of the American experience.

The Massachusetts Bay Company was a commercial venture []. While there were religious aspects to an explicitly Puritan commonwealth, the proprietors in England expected to make money. How were they going to do that? The king expected the colonies to be a source of wealth for him. London merchants expected to sell finished goods to the needy colonists. New England had substantial natural resources, but in order to reach a market for these goods, they needed to be transported somewhere else. This increased the costs and reduced any profit.
