Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a historical exploration of the founding of Plymouth, Massachusetts and the colony that grew there. The author recounts the story of the Mayflower and the Pilgrims who settled on this site. Using primary source accounts, and detailed analysis, the author recreates the early days of this brave group of settlers. Their strong religious beliefs, based on the idea of a personal covenant with God, are presented in detail, and the author traces the development of their ideas as they moved from England to Holland and finally to America. Many topics are examined including the foundation of their religious principles, their difficult voyage across the Atlantic, their first brutal winter in the New World, their interactions with the local Wampanoag tribe, and the development of their colony and its unique form of self-government. The narrative is fleshed out with historical anecdotes, village records, and personal accounts that bring the period vividly to life and underscore the significance of this group of Pilgrims in American history as they risked everything to establish a new society where they could worship as they believed.
