"It was a freak of history," he says of his influence then. "Those years proved to be the most rewarding of my life." They...
...entire Harvard printing plant moved in with the English students. Harvard apparently justified the transfer of the press on the grounds that they were about to publish John Eliot's translation of the Bible into Algonquin. (The Eliot translation of the Bible--Mamusse Wunneetupana-tamwe Up-Biblum God--came out in 1663. Scholars are not sure there were any Indians who could have understood...
