Book Description
"This book presents transcriptions of the manuscript town records of Sandwich on Cape Cod, in Massachusetts, during th time of Plymouth Colony, 1620-1692. Like many town records from New England, the entries in the original manuscript are not all in chronological order. Using blank books, clerks organized their writings initially with an attempt at clarity, but rarely could such intentions be maintained...To bring coherence to the material, I have provided a calendar. In this book, it precedes the transcriptions. The chronological presentation of summaries of each document, including the names of anyone mentioned, makes it possible to understand the unfolding of documented activities and processes through time. The calendar gives a summary of information about the town's development" -- Preface.

They Knew They Were Pilgrims
Author: John G. Turner
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300252307
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 460
Book Description
An ambitious new history of the Pilgrims and Plymouth Colony, published for the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower’s landing In 1620, separatists from the Church of England set sail across the Atlantic aboard the Mayflower. Understanding themselves as spiritual pilgrims, they left to preserve their liberty to worship God in accordance with their understanding of the Bible. There exists, however, an alternative, more dispiriting version of their story. In it, the Pilgrims are religious zealots who persecuted dissenters and decimated the Native peoples through warfare and by stealing their land. The Pilgrims’ definition of liberty was, in practice, very narrow. Drawing on original research using underutilized sources, John G. Turner moves beyond these familiar narratives in his sweeping and authoritative new history of Plymouth Colony. Instead of depicting the Pilgrims as otherworldly saints or extraordinary sinners, he tells how a variety of English settlers and Native peoples engaged in a contest for the meaning of American liberty.

This Land Is Their Land
Author: David J. Silverman
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1632869268
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 529
Book Description
Ahead of the 400th anniversary of the first Thanksgiving, a new look at the Plymouth colony's founding events, told for the first time with Wampanoag people at the heart of the story. In March 1621, when Plymouth's survival was hanging in the balance, the Wampanoag sachem (or chief), Ousamequin (Massasoit), and Plymouth's governor, John Carver, declared their people's friendship for each other and a commitment to mutual defense. Later that autumn, the English gathered their first successful harvest and lifted the specter of starvation. Ousamequin and 90 of his men then visited Plymouth for the “First Thanksgiving.” The treaty remained operative until King Philip's War in 1675, when 50 years of uneasy peace between the two parties would come to an end. 400 years after that famous meal, historian David J. Silverman sheds profound new light on the events that led to the creation, and bloody dissolution, of this alliance. Focusing on the Wampanoag Indians, Silverman deepens the narrative to consider tensions that developed well before 1620 and lasted long after the devastating war-tracing the Wampanoags' ongoing struggle for self-determination up to this very day. This unsettling history reveals why some modern Native people hold a Day of Mourning on Thanksgiving, a holiday which celebrates a myth of colonialism and white proprietorship of the United States. This Land is Their Land shows that it is time to rethink how we, as a pluralistic nation, tell the history of Thanksgiving.
