The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent condition, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
The full subtitle of this book is: "Being the Lives of the Pilgrim Fathers and their Families, with Their Friends and Foes, and an Account of Their Posthumous Wanderings in Limbo, Their Final Resurrection and Rise to Glory, and the the Strange Pilgrimages of Plymouth Rock".
The author claims in his preface that much has been written about the small band of pilgrims—more perhaps than any other group in American history—yet they are still extravagantly praised for accomplishing what they never attempted, and even more foolishly abused for possessing attitudes and attributes quite foreign to them. He is making the case that the Pilgrims are often confused with the Puritans, who settled to the north in Boston Bay, and believes that the Pilgrims should be allowed to tell their own story, as far as possible, in their own words. Drawing from their letters, this book chronicles the lives of the Pilgrim settlers.
