Review

• Brockett, Adrian. Deconstructing the Hector “Passenger List”, American Ancestors Magazine (NEHGS, Boston, Mass., Winter 2021) Vol. 21, No. 4, Page 37.

• "Atwater wrote his history as a narrative, to tell an engaging story... This narrative style can make it difficult for readers—and perhaps even the author—to distinguish fact from fiction. As Atwater crafted the primary source information he had collected into a readable story, his historical account became compromised."
• "According to my research, the first author to suggest that the Hector carried more than five passengers in 1637 was Rev. Edward Atwater (1816–1887), in his History of the Colony of New Haven, first published in 1881."
