Yet when his son, Charles II, regained the throne, Whalley and Goffe were forced to flee to the New England colonies aboard the ship Prudent Mary--never to see their families or England again. Even with the help of New England's Puritan elite, including Reverend John Davenport, they struggled to stay ahead of the authorities in Boston, New Haven, and the outpost of Hadley, Massachusetts. Though forced to live out the rest of their lives fugitives, these former major generals survived frontier adventures in seventeenth-century New England, and became embedded in early United States history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/24\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781609493028\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 141\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Christopher Pagliuco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39992133058741,"sku":"9781609493028","price":18.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_29d6f322-7ff8-49ba-9c9f-2769827ec186.jpg?v=1620707334","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-great-escape-of-edward-whalley-and-william-goffe-smuggled-through-connecticut-9781609493028","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
