About This Book

Drawing on contemporaneous colonial accounts, the work traces a group's escape from religious persecution to refuge abroad, their transatlantic voyage and compact, and the founding of a small New England settlement. It chronicles the community's early struggles, severe winter losses, practical arrangements for governance, and encounters with neighboring Indigenous nations that lead to a fragile peace and a shared harvest celebration. Subsequent chapters record the arrival of additional vessels, legal and territorial organization, internal disputes, and political alliances that contribute to the colony's gradual consolidation.
