Plymouth Colony, its history & people, 1620-1691

The first comprehensive guide to Plymouth Colony. It includes a concise history of the colony, both chronologically and topically, and more than 300 biographical sketches of its inhabitants. Richly documented and illustrated with maps and photographs, the book was written for historians and genealogists alike and provides an in- depth view of an important epoch in American history. The researcher will find the verbatim transcriptions of important contemporary documents in the eleven appendices invaluable, and the annotated bibliography clearly describes the abundance of primary and secondary literature on Plymouth Colony. This is the first comprehensive treatment of life in the colony in which the settlers speak for themselves.
