This Is A New Release Of The Original 1906 Edition.

This classic work provides a fascinating picture of the world our Pilgrim fathers left behind. The customs, clothing, homes, festivals, food, drink, schools, and literature are described, along with "unhygienic conditions," remedies, epidemics, surgery, superstitions, witchcraft and more. Religious reform, the history of Scrooby ("birthplace of the Pilgrim Church"), and the lives of early Pilgrim leaders Brewster, Bradford and Robinson illustrate the early phases of this movement. Their "exodus" to Holland and eventual departure to the New World in 1620 are explained in detail. The appendix contains lists of people in the Pilgrim Company in Leyden, Holland; other English people in Leyden; a Citizenship List; English Sources of the Pilgrim Emigration; and a list of Plymouth Colonists from Leyden.

1906. Dr. Henry M. Dexter, of Pilgrim descent and born almost within sight of Plymouth Rock, desired to give to the world a more complete record than any which had been written of the religious and ecclesiastical movement in England that made the Pilgrims what they were and of their emigration to Holland and their life there before they came to America. Although he died before the book was complete, his son edited and rewrote the finished text. Contents: Book I. The England of Our Fathers; Book II. The Protestantism of Our Fathers; Book III. The Birthplace of the Pilgrim Church; Book IV. The Pilgrims themselves and how the Conflict developed them; Book V. The Pilgrims in Amsterdam; and Book VI. The Pilgrims in Leyden.
