THOMAS HOOKER's MIGRATION - A Journey of Faith and Determination
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This wood engraving, created by an American artist in 1846, depicts the historic moment when Thomas Hooker and his congregation embarked on a courageous journey from Newton, Massachusetts to Connecticut in 1636. The image captures the essence of their migration as they traverse through a dense forest, symbolizing the challenges they faced while seeking religious freedom. At the forefront of this scene is Thomas Hooker himself, leading his devoted followers towards a new settlement. With determination etched on their faces, these brave pioneers ride horses or walk alongside oxen pulling covered wagons filled with their belongings. The rugged terrain beneath them signifies the arduous path they chose to undertake. As we gaze upon this print, we witness not just a physical migration but also an emotional one – a departure from familiar lands towards uncharted territories. The towering trees surrounding them represent both obstacles and opportunities for growth as they establish themselves in Connecticut. In this historical moment frozen in time, we can almost hear the sounds of hooves hitting rocky ground and feel the anticipation that must have filled the air. This wood engraving serves as a testament to Thomas Hooker's leadership and vision as he laid down foundations for what would become one of America's most influential congregational settlements. The Granger Collection has beautifully captured this significant event in American history through artistry that invites us to reflect upon our own journeys - those taken by choice or
