The Mayflower and Her Log Volume 4

The Mayflower and Her Log: Complete Five Volumes by Azel Ames. From July 15, 1620-May 6, 1621. The ship that in 1620 transported 102 English Pilgrims, including a group of Separatists, to New England. One of the most famous voyages in early American colonial history, and the Mayflower Compact is cited as influential in the establishment of democracy and self-government in British North America. To the civilized humanity, in 1620, laid on New England shores 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. Every detail and circumstance which relates to their preparations; the ships; personnel of the Merchant Adventurers associated with them, and to that of the colonists themselves; to what befell them; to their final embarkation on their lone ship, -the immortal MAY-FLOWER; and to the voyage itself and to its issues, is vested to-day with, a supreme interest.
