Note:"DeRogatis (Michigan State Univ.) explores the role of the Connecticut Missionary Society in establishing the Western Reserve of Ohio. Shaped in their imaginations by the Puritan experience, the society's trustees sent missionaries to transplant New England culture to eastern Ohio. The author analyzes the ideas expressed in letters, travel literature, town and colony planning, and mapmaking as tools for understanding the goals, actions, achievements, and failures of these missionaries." -- from a Choice review
