William Brewster

Description

A most extensively researched account of the Pilgrim Fathers, from Scrooby and Gainsborough, who managed to escape from the repressive religious and political climate of England in 1608, eventually leaving from Killingholme Creek. Dr Kirk-Smith devoted several years to researching in Britain, Holland and America what happened before, during and after the Mayflower crossed the Atlantic in 1620. This book deals with the factors leading up to the eventual establishment of the Plymouth Plantation ….. the beginning of the America we know today.
