First sentence: BY the middle of the seventeenth century the first period of colonization had come to an end, and the English settlers were scattered in isolated communities all the way from the far-lying fishing villages of the Maine and New Hampshire coasts to western Long Island, where a few towns accepted the jurisdiction of the government of New Netherland.
