History has dwelt on the Pilgrim Fathers, so this book turns to the mothers. Noyes follows the women of the Mayflower from the Great North Road through exile under the lindens of Leyden, across the Atlantic and into the first street of Plymouth, describing their faith, their losses, the later bride ship and the cooks who fed the first harvest feast.
