Mayflower Ship'S Log (Complete Edition) eBook

To civilized humanity world-wide, and especially to the descendants of the Pilgrims who, in 1620, laid the foundations of that civil and religious freedom upon which has been built a refuge for the oppressed of every land, the story of the Pilgrim "Exodus" has an ever-increasing value and zest. It describes the inception, development, and vicissitudes of the bold scheme of colonization in the American wilderness. It covers every detail and circumstance which relates to the immortal MAYFLOWER; the preparations, the voyage, the personnel on the ship and the first colonists'' hopes and dreams.Contents: The Name— "Mayflower"The Mayflower''s Consort the SpeedwellThe Mayflower''s Charter and the AdventurersThe Mayflower—the Ship HerselfThe Officers and Crew of the MayflowerThe Mayflower''s PassengersQuarters, Cooking, ProvisionsThe Mayflower''s LadingThe Journal of the Ship Mayflower
