The Mayflower and Her Log; July 15, 1620-May 6, 1621 — Volume 4

A meticulous, source-driven reconstruction of the 1620–1621 voyage and the people who undertook it, organized largely by family groups and boarding locations. It compiles passenger lists, biographical sketches, and documentary evidence to resolve uncertain identities and relationships, notes the roles of merchants, agents, servants, and bound children, and evaluates disputes over leadership and ship management. The text traces the voyage’s logistical problems and ship movements, reproduces key letters and complaints, and combines genealogical detail with commentary to clarify contested points in the early settlement’s formation.
