Chronicles of The Pilgrim Fathers Genealogy Book

Description

Chronicles of the Pilgrim Fathers of the Colony of Plymouth from 1602 to 1625
Alexander Young
Volume totaling
502
pages. Book is in excellent condition. Just what you need for genealogy research. Per the publisher;
This volume contains an authentic history of the Pilgrim Fathers who planted the Colony of Plymouth, from their origin in John Robinson’s congregation in 1602 to his death in 1625-written by themselves. The document of first importance is
Gov. Bradford’s History of the Plymouth Colony
, which takes precedence over everything else relating to the Pilgrims in time, authority, and interest. It contains a detailed history of their rise in the north of England, their residence in Holland, the causes which led to their emigration, and the means whereby they transported themselves to America. The next document in importance is
Bradford’s and Winslow’s Journal
, containing a minute diary of events from the arrival of the
Mayflower
in 1620 to the return of the Fortune in 1621. This document joins on the former, making a continuous narrative. Skipping to the fourth document,
Winslow’s Relation
entitled “Good News from New England,” the narrative is taken up where it was left off by the former journal, and it is brought down to September, 1623. The remaining documents are
Cushman’s Discourse
,
Winslow’s Brief Narration
,
Gov. Bradford’s Dialogue
, and
Gov. Bradford’s Memoir of Elder Brewster
, which, like the other documents, constitute a very select body of primary source material.
