Excerpt from The Pilgrims and Their History
I have already made repeated acknowledgments in my previous books of my indebtedness to many foreign scholars and archivists, but I cannot close this preface without acknowledging once more, in this of all books, the influence upon me as a student Of Edward Charming. To no single man, out of many in Europe or America to whom my indebtedness is great, do I owe so much.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the Pilgrims' settlement at Plymouth within its broader historical context. The author challenges the idea that the Pilgrims were persecuted out of England. Instead, they were a group of nonconformists motivated by opposition to the Established Church and a desire to establish a community based on their own religious principles. The book draws upon newly unearthed material, including church records and wills, and sheds light on the Pilgrims' economic success and social life after arriving in the New World. Ultimately, this book reveals how the Pilgrims were not driven from England by persecution, but instead embarked on a new life due to their religious beliefs.
