Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Pilgrims The story of the Pilgrims is not merely a twice-told tale it is a tale which has been told over and over. Historians renowned for their ability and learning, essayists distinguished for their literary skill, orators of the highest order, poets of world-wide fame, and patient chroniclers have all taken it in hand; and not a few of the facts entering into the narrative are as familiar as household words. Of the earlier writers, Bradford, Winslow, and the Mortons, along with what is found in Robinson´s works and the records and laws of the colony, have supplied a fund of information, original and precious above all that anybody else can ever hope to contribute, towards our knowledge of this little Plymouth colony. Of the later writers, Hubbard, Prince, Young, Baylies, Thacher, Hunter, Davis, Cheever, Bacon, Elliott, the Dexters - three of them, the father, Henry Martyn Dexter, the son, Morton Dexter, and Professor Frankhn Bowditch Dexter of Yale College Goodwin, Brown, Mackennal, Bartlett, Griffis, Arber, and Ames, besides historians like Hutchinson, Barry, Bancroft, Hildreth, and Palfrey, who have had to deal with the Pilgrims; and many others, some of whom like Neal, Campbell, Byington, Fiske, and Winsor, if not dealing directly with this subject, have yet dealt with subjects which led them to throw important side-lights upon it; and biographers like Steele, who has written the life of Brewster, and O. S. Davis, who has made a fresh contribution to our mass of Pilgrim literature in his recent book on Robinson, would seem to leave nothing unsaid which ought to be said.
