THE PLYMOUTH ADVENTURE, based on careful and imaginative research, is a fresh and dramatic narrative of one of the most courageous ventures in history---the MAYFLOWER voyage and the establishment of a colony in the New World.
The long voyage from Southampton, with its personal conflicts and hardships suffered from violent storms and a low food supply, is graphically described, as are the first cruelly hard months the colonists spent in the New World trying to establish a home.
Ernest Gebler has brought to life historical figures which have long been shadowy. The principals in the MAYFLOWER adventure and the lesser figures---the debtors and jailbirds, the artisans and hired hands who shipped on the voyage, as well as the Indians, Massasoit and Squanto---re-enact the noble or villainous parts they played in the great adventure.
