Excerpt from The History of North America, Vol. 5: The Colonization of New England The subject of the colonization of North America by Europeans has in the present history of the continent received careful and comprehensive treatment. The subject has been considered from many points of view and in many different phases. Of these phases we find ten of sufficient importance to deserve mention in this introduction to the concluding volume of the three exclusively devoted to the period of colonization. The earliest of the phases embraces the myths and legends concerning Japanese, Chinese, Welsh, and Irish voyagers, and is considered in the volume entitled Discovery and Exploration. In the same volume is presented the second phase, the first of those that may be called historical. This is the compound movement that settled Iceland and Greenland, and this movement includes the descents of the Norsemen, whether for permanent occupation or temporary sojourn, upon the shores of America. The third phase, that of the colonization of the countries lying south of the Rio Grande and north of the Rio Atrato, - a somewhat extended southern limit of North America, made necessary by the present connection of Panama with the United States, - will have place in the volume devoted to Mexico, Central America, and the Southwest. The fourth phase will be found described in the volume entitled The Colonization of the South; the fifth, in The Colonization of the Middle States and Maryland; and the sixth phase, in The Colonization of New England.
