Excerpt from Questions d'Hier Et D'aujourd'hui
Le 21 décembre 1620, un petit navire, le may-f lower, contenant environ cent personnes, jetait l'ancre dans une baie sur le versant oriental de l'amérique du Nord appelé depuis la nouvelle-angleterre. Les hommes qui montaient cette embarcation n'apportaient avec eux ni renommée, ni richesse, ni puissance ils fuyaient même leur pays et venaient chercher dans les solitudes de l'amérique la paix religieuse que leur refusait la mère patrie. Ces hommes étaient des puritains, et leurs figures sombres et sévères annonçaient des gens doués d'une énergie peu commune, déterminés à triompher des obs tacles qui pourraient s'opposer à leur entreprise.
