Massachusetts Bay 2: The founding of Salem

Before Massachusetts Bay Company plans were finalized, John Endicott sailed to Naumkeag to relieve a group of colonists already there, and pave the way for the mass migration being planned.  A year later, he'd gotten some reinforcements, established a church and made progress building and planting.  Two years after Endicott landed, the company's charter had been finalized, granting Massachusetts Bay unprecedented legal rights and autonomy.
