Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Massachusetts: A Typical American Commonwealth
Yet because their sons and daughters were marrying into native families, their young men enlisting in the army led by Maurice, and their people likely to be swallowed up in the Dutch nationality, withal desirous of propagating their tenets of independency, these Eng lish Independents resolved to cross the Atlantic to the New World. In their enterprise they were joined by Miles Standish, one of the captains in the English contingent of the Dutch army.
