The history of Hartford begins with Thomas Hooker’s arrival in Newtown (later renamed Cambridge) Massachusetts where he became a pastor of one of the earliest established churches there. However, voting in Massachusetts was limited to freemen or limited to people who had been formally interrogated on their religious views and experiences. Hooker disagreed with these limitations and their influential pastor, John Cotton. So, Thomas Hooker and Reverend Samuel Stone led a group of one hundred people in 1636 and founded the settlement of Hartford. Which then led to the founding of the Connecticut Colony and Hookers increased involvement in politics. On January 14, 1639 freemen from the three colonies that made up the Connecticut Colony sat down and ratified the “Fundamental Orders of Connecticut” which was called “the first written constitution known to history that created a government. It marked the beginnings of American democracy, of which Thomas Hooker deserves more than any other man to be called the father. The government of the United States today is in lineal descent more nearly related to that of Connecticut than to that of any of the other thirteen colonies” (John Fiske).

The importance of Alexander Graham Bell on today’s society is visible, or rather audible, every day and everywhere. First and foremost, Alexander Graham Bell was a prolific teacher of the deaf.

Francis Drake was born in Crowndale ,England to Edmund Drake in the first half of the 16th century . His father was a priest. These are the only fact that all the scholars have agreed. When doing my research for Francis Drake, there have been many constructions of Francis Drake life to convey Francis Drake as a great Pirate, Admiral, and Hero; Benson conveys Francis Drake as a the hero with no connections, a lower class upbringing in contrast to Corbett who conveys a Drake as the ideal gentleman from a middle class upbringing Corbet conveys the background of Francis Drake on how he became to work for Queen Elizabeth’s navy. My question is which depiction of Drake is the most accurate and Why is Francis Drake depicted differently , throughout the different time periods since his birth? I will present the three different historiographies that depict Francis Drake from Sir Julian Corbett, Harry Kelsey and E.F.Benson point of view. I will then state flaws within their construction of Drake. I will also be using Sir Francis Drake : The Construction of a Hero by Bruce Wathen, to understand the reasons for the different narration of Drake through material culture of each period.
