Description
This is the first truly complete treatment of the history and genealogy of Plymouth Colony. It includes a concise history of the colony, both chronologically and topically, and more than 300 biographical sketches of its inhabitants. Richly documented and illustrated with maps and photographs, the three-dimensional Plymouth Colony: Its History & People, 1620-1691 was written for historians and genealogists alike and provides and in-depth view of this important epoch in American history. The show more researcher will find the verbatim transcriptions of important contemporary documents in the eleven appendices invaluable, and the annotated bibliography clearly describes the abundance of primary and secondary literature on Plymouth Colony. Mr. Stratton's work set a new standard worthy of emulation by all serious scholars. show lessTags

A fairly detailed account of life in Plymouth colony from its founding to 1691. There are biographical sketches of some 300 people in the colony. Some of my ancestors are in this book. I think some of them might have been mentioned in the chapter on Sex and Morality. Fornication and adultery seemed to be a major pastime, with lots of people being punished by fines, whippings or time in the stocks.
An interesting book if you have ancestors from this area.

Good condition. Pages generally clean with small amount of marking in pen and pencil.
