/I there were the inducements which the friendly Indians here held out and the offer of a large tract of land for settle- ment. The peculiar beauty of this section, with its wooded hills, its fertile plains and running brooks, attracted them. The pioneer spirit appealed to them, was in their blood, as in all the colonies at that time. They must go somewhere. So Hooker had come to Hartford, Pynchon to Springfield, Roger Williams to Rhode Island, Jonathan Brewster to Windsor and Brewster's Neck. ...Probably this Norwich colony had as reasons for the removal some like those given by Hooker's company in their petition for permission for removal to Hartford, which were: 1. "Want of room where we are. " 2. "The fruitfulness and commodiousness of Con- necticut and the danger of having it possessed by others. " 3. "The strong bent of our spirit to remove thither. " Probably the "bent of their spirit'' was the motive, more potent than either of the others or than both of them together. That act of the general court of May, 1659, which I have quoted, made as its condition that the settlement must be made within the three years thereafter.
