Notes - "In the published Winthrop Papers we can trace the course of an early (and somewhat comical) cattle drive which took place in 1648, starting at the 'ranch' of John Winthrop Junior at Pequot (later New London), moving through Rhode Island and on to Roxbury. The correspondence includes two letters penned by Joseph Wise which show that he was literate, although not university educated. Before the cattle could be delivered to Wise for slaughter and sale, John Winthrop Senior, John Winthrop Junior and Roger Williams were all involved (Winthrop Papers 5:240, 242, 264 f., 270, 280, 341 f., 375; three unpublished letters from Joseph Wise to John Winthrop Junior, dated 19 March 1650/1. 12 Aug. 1654 and 1 Nov. 1654, are in the Winthrop Papers at the Massachusetts Historical Society, Boston). Joseph Wise was clearly an important participant in the developing New England economy. For a broader picture of the cattle industry in southeastern New England in these early years, see Carl Bridenbaugh, Fat Mutton and Liberty of Conscience: Society in Rhode Island, 1636-1690, pp. 84-92, and Darret B. Rutman, 'Governor Winthrop's Garden Crop: The Significance of Agriculture in the Early Commerce of Massachusetts Bay" (William and Mary Quarterly, ser. 3, 20 [1963] 396-415)."
