Description
Excerpt from The Story of the Pilgrim Fathers, 1606-1623 as Told By, Themselves, Their Friends, and Their Enemies: Edited From the Original Texts
What a strange thing it is, that hitherto there does not exist any adequate account, scientifically written but popular in form, of the Pilgrim Fathers. And this, although there has already grown up around their noble efforts, a considerable literature, through the incessant efforts Of American Scholars and Historical Societies° a literature that will no doubt continue to grow till the end of time.
Crammed as this volume is with information on the subject, most of it Of paramount authority; it has not been found possible to bring the Pilgrim Story in it, to a later date than 1623. If that Story is to be continued, it must be in another similar volume; which would probably carry it on to the years 1628, or 1630.
