About the Book
"Sir Edmund Andros (1637 – 1714) was an English colonial administrator in North America. Andros was known most notably for his governorship of the Dominion of New England during most of its three-year existence. He also governed at various times the provinces of New York, East and West Jersey, Virginia, and Maryland. Prior to his service in North America, he served as bailiff of Guernsey. Andros's tenure in New England was turbulent, as his actions were viewed as pro-Anglican, damaging criticism in a region home to many Puritans, and authoritarian.

Andros was a more effective governor in New York and Virginia, although he became the enemy of prominent locals who worked to remove him from office. He nevertheless managed to negotiate the Covenant Chain with the Iroquois, establishing a long-lived peace involving the colonies and other tribes that interacted with that confederacy. His actions and governance generally followed the instructions he was given upon appointment to office, and he received approbation from the monarchs and governments that appointed him." -- Wikipedia
