Between 1622 and 1627 three outsiders called at the Pilgrim colony and wrote frankly of what they found: John Pory, secretary of Virginia, to the Earl of Southampton and Governor Wyatt; Emmanuel Altham, a young English adventurer, writing home to his family; and Isaack de Rasieres, a Dutch official from New Amsterdam. Samuel Eliot Morison introduces letters that show Plymouth through eyes sharing neither its beliefs nor its plans.
A rare outside view of the Pilgrims in their first years, invaluable for anyone interested in early New England. Download the free EPUB.
