Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Founding of a Nation, Vol. 2: The Story of the Pilgrim Fathers, Their Voyage on the Mayflower, Their Early Struggles, the Ships and Early Struggles, Hardships and Dangers, and the Beginnings of American Democracy; As Told in the Journals of Francis Beaumont, Cavalier Though the days of winter brought their chill and frost, still withal, as yet there was not the cold that set the earth like iron, filling the sea with ice. Captain Jones was struck by the openness of the weather and marveled that it was like Virginia in its mildness. This soft weather was varied now and then by cold blasts, giving the colonists a taste of what might come to them were the winds once set firmly to their work. So far it had rained immoderately sometimes two or three days at a time. Such was the condition of the weather up to the very day that the Brewster household moved ashore. During this night the soft winds swerved from the mildness into a chill that made me shiver under my rugs and sent crystals of ice floating upon the harbor. After a fearful night I decided I would go ashore if for no other reason than that I might get out of the cold. The ship, being well unloaded, rolled heavily in the seas. One of the men coming in, a cold blast swept through the door making my teeth chatter. This cold left me undaunted for I had made up my mind I would go as soon after breakfast as possible. Though I begged and pled with the sailors and showed gold pieces, I could not get a boat´s crew to take me.
