The Mayflower and Her Passengers

The Mayflower and Her Passengers by Caleb H. Johnson, published by Xlibris on July 26, 2006, offers a detailed exploration of the 102 passengers aboard the Mayflower during its historic voyage to America in 1620. This edition, written in English and spanning 292 pages, seeks to illuminate the often-overlooked lives of these individuals, commonly referred to as “the Pilgrims.” The book provides short biographies for each passenger or family group, alongside a new biography of the Mayflower ship itself, aiming to give readers a deeper understanding of their unique stories.

In this work, readers will find a comprehensive account that goes beyond the well-known figures such as Governor William Bradford and Captain Myles Standish. The focus is on resurrecting the individuality of the lesser-known passengers, presenting their backgrounds and contributions to the New Plymouth Colony. The Mayflower and Her Passengers serves as a valuable resource for those interested in maritime history and the early settlers of America, shedding light on the personal narratives that shaped this pivotal moment in history.
