-MAYFLOWER SOCIETY HOUSE</h2>
-
-
-<p class="drop-capy">A NOTABLE accomplishment of the General Society of
-Mayflower Descendants was the purchase in 1941 of the
-Edward Winslow House in Plymouth, Massachusetts, a
-house of great beauty and dignity, with history and atmosphere,
-perfectly located on North Street, one of the five streets laid out
-by the Pilgrims, overlooking Plymouth Rock and Cole’s Hill, where
-lie the bones of many of the Pilgrims.</p>
-
-<p>North Street was laid out before 1633. It was first named New
-Street, later Queen Street, and for some years was called Howland
-Street, presumably because Joseph Howland, son of John Howland,
-the Pilgrim, owned land on the north side. His son Thomas inherited
-it, and in turn it descended to the latter’s son, Consider Howland,
-who sold it to Edward Winslow, the great-grandson of Edward
-Winslow, third Governor of the Colony. The younger Winslow
-attended Harvard College and then settled in Plymouth. He became
-Clerk of the Court, Registrar of Probate, and Collector of the
-Port. He married in 1741, the widow, Hannah Howland Dyer, a
-sister of Consider Howland, and in 1754 built the house.</p>
-
-<p>Winslow was a Royalist and an outspoken supporter of the King.
-Although a popular man, the townspeople became infuriated at his
-lack of patriotism, which eventually cost him his town offices and<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_6"></a>[6]</span>
-revenue. His son joined the King’s forces, and he frequently entertained
-the British officers at his home. After the evacuation of
-Boston by the British, Winslow moved his family to New York, and
-was granted a pension by Sir Henry Clinton.</p>
-
-<p>Later the family went to Halifax, as did thousands of other Tories,
-where Winslow died the following year, at the age of seventy-two.
-He was buried in St. Paul’s Churchyard, mourned by all the dignitaries
-of the city. At this time Canada was actively hostile to
-the United States.</p>
-
-<p>In order to support his family after losing his offices, Winslow
-had pledged his house as security for loans of money made him by
-Thomas Davis, William Thomas, Oakes Angier, and John Rowe.
-When he left Plymouth the house was sold on an “execution” at a
-sacrifice to satisfy the creditors, much to Winslow’s indignation.
-It is often mistakenly stated that his property was confiscated.
-The house at this time was half its present size and, as was customary
-in those days, sat close to the ground, as well as to the street.
-The frame of the house and some of the paneling are said to have
-been brought from England, although American craftsmen could
-and did construct similar houses and paneling.</p>
-
-<p>From Winslow’s creditors the house passed into the hands of
-Thomas Jackson who occupied it as a residence until 1813, when
-he moved to the so-called Cotton Farm. The house then passed
-by an execution from Mr. Jackson to his cousin Charles Jackson,
-who died in it in 1818 and whose son, Charles Thomas Jackson,
-born 21 June 1805, played an interesting part in the civil history
-of this country. He had a keen mind, was a student of electricity
-and magnetism, but medicine was his main study. He graduated
-from Harvard Medical School in 1827, finishing his studies abroad.
-He returned to America on the sailing vessel with Samuel F. B.<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_7"></a>[7]</span>
-Morse, and their meeting may have helped Morse perfect his telegraphic
-instrument. It is known that Jackson made and displayed
-a model of a telegraphic instrument a year before Morse patented
-the one that made him famous.</p>

-</div>
-
-<p>Jackson was greatly interested in geology and was the State
-Geologist of Maine in 1836, Rhode Island in 1839, and New Hampshire
-in 1840, but his greatest claim to fame is his share in discovering
-etherization and his association with Dr. W. T. G. Morton, a
-dental surgeon, fourteen years his junior, who studied medicine in
-his office. Jackson is believed to have made his first personal experiments
-with the inhalation of ether in the house at Plymouth,
-and the chair in which he sat is displayed in Pilgrim Hall. Morton
-patented the process of anesthesia by ether in 1846 and he sued
-Jackson for claiming the discovery of the anesthetic effects of inhalation
-of ether back in the winter of 1841-42. The French Government
-investigated the matter and decreed Jackson a 2500 franc
-prize as the discoverer, and a similar prize to Morton for being the
-first to apply it to surgical operations.</p>

-</div>
-
-<p>Jackson’s slightly older sister Lydia, sometimes called Lidian,
-became the second wife of Ralph Waldo Emerson, the American
-poet and philosopher. Their marriage took place in 1835 in the
-east parlor, later known as the music room.</p>

-
-<p>The house was sold by the Charles Jackson heirs in 1872 to Lucia J.
-Briggs, the wife of the Rev. George W. Briggs, who occupied it as a
-summer residence until 1898, when it was purchased by Charles L.
-Willoughby, of Chicago, for a summer home. Gardens were planned
-and planted. Joseph Everett Chandler, authority on the restoration
-of New England houses and author of books on the subject,
-was retained to supervise the work, and it is he we have to thank
-that so much was saved when it was converted into a gentleman’s
-estate. He it was who saw to it that the new windows, inner shutters,
-paneling, and many details, are in keeping with the original structure.
-He even saw to it that the Tory chimney, with its coping
-painted black, was saved and that the two lovely linden trees, said
-to have been planted by Edward Winslow’s daughter Penelope, were
-protected during the alteration. In tearing off the ell on the north
-side, a board was uncovered on which was painted “Built by William
-Drew 1820,” which indicates additions were made that year. The
-house was moved back thirty feet, raised five, porches were built,
-side doors, new rooms, and a cupola or, as some erroneously call it,
-a Widow’s Walk, were added.</p>

-
-<p>To own an old house is a great privilege, but it is also a great
-responsibility. No amount of money could have made the Winslow
-house so interesting as its association with events of history and
-famous people has made it.</p>

-the already extensive garden.</p>

-<p>A five-car garage was built to the far side of the garden, arranged
-so that it would be possible to use it as a charity theatre, with quarters
-overhead for the gardener and his family. As protection against
-the elements and the public, a six foot red brick wall of Colonial
-design was erected on the south and east sides of the estate.</p>

-</div>
-
-<p>After Mrs. Willoughby’s death, her daughter offered the property
-for sale. It is fortunate that it passed into the hands of the General
-Society of Mayflower Descendants (31 December 1941). It might
-have become a Tea Room, a Road House, or something worse.
-The Society immediately took up the work of restoration and preservation
-where Mr. Chandler had left off, but before work could even be
-started, World War II broke out and the entire Winslow House was
-turned over to the Plymouth Chapter of the American Red Cross for
-the duration without charge of any kind. Due to confusion, especially
-of legal nature, likely to arise, and which in fact had arisen, by the
-existence of a Winslow House in nearby Marshfield, it was decided
-at the Seventeenth Congress of the General Society held in Plymouth
-September 1946, and so voted, to change the name of the Edward
-Winslow House to the Mayflower Society House.</p>

-<p>The house today is far different from the one Edward Winslow

-by gifts and purchases of furniture of the 18th Century period.
-Members of the Mayflower Society and any interested in preserving
-the best of the 18th century are asked to contribute items of furniture,

-<h2 class="nobreak" id="THE_GENERAL_SOCIETY_OF">THE GENERAL SOCIETY OF
-MAYFLOWER DESCENDANTS</h2>
-
-<p class="drop-capy">NOT until 1894 did descendants of the passengers of the
-<i>Mayflower</i> organize to perpetuate the ideals and commemorate
-the memory of their ancestors. The first Society
-was formed 22 December 1894 in New York, followed by
-societies in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania within
-18 months. These societies founded the General Society 12 January
-1897. The General Society now consists of 40 State Societies, with
-a membership of over 7600 men and women.</p>
-
-<p>19 February 1923 the General Society was incorporated under
-the laws of Massachusetts. Among those signing the petition to the
-Great and General Court were Major General Leonard Wood,<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_18"></a>[18]</span>
-William Howard Taft, and Henry Cabot Lodge. The Mayflower
-Society is not interested in the wealth of its members, or their social
-standing, or their politics, although two Presidents of the United
-States have been members. Two others were eligible but passed on
-before its organization. It is proud, however, of the notable achievements
-of many of its members.</p>
-
-<p>Some of the patriotic Societies were in early days largely social in
-character. Many joined solely of pride in their ancestry. Democracy
-was not then under attack and needed no defenders. The country’s
-growth since the turn of the century has brought to the United
-States a tremendous number of persons fleeing from Old World
-conditions. Our melting pot did well for a time; of recent years our
-freedom has been attacked. The Society now has a mission—that
-of spreading the wisdom and ideals of our ancestors to the masses
-who have come to our shores.</p>
-
-<p>The Society has accomplished much in its effort to discover and
-publish matter relating to the Pilgrims. It has aided in establishing
-memorials and has contributed over $100,000.00 toward the Bradford
-Memorial Tablet, the Provincetown Monument, the Monument
-to the Pilgrims at Southampton, England, the Sarcophagus on
-Cole’s Hill, Plymouth, the Aptuxet Trading Post, at Bourne, the
-Mayflower Index, and to lesser memorials throughout the country.
-One of the most important things accomplished is the purchase and
-restoration of the Mayflower Society House. This is more than a
-National Headquarters. It is propaganda for Americanism. It is
-a landmark that will inspire those who visit Plymouth to increase
-their knowledge of the Pilgrims and thus help make better citizens
-of them, and it is a contribution to patriotism. Plymouth welcomes
-another museum house, particularly an 18th century one, where
-visitors may learn more of Colonial life and customs. The important<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_19"></a>[19]</span>
-thing is that visitors to the Mayflower Society House, who number
-thousands each year, coming from every state in the Union, find
-there exists an organization to perpetuate the memory and carry
-forward the ideals of the Pilgrims.</p>
-
-<p>When the General Society of Mayflower Descendants was organized,
-it adopted a declaration of purpose, the most important part
-of which is to commemorate and honor the Pilgrims, to defend
-the principle of civil and religious liberty, as set forth in the <a href="#Page_28">Mayflower
-Compact</a>, to discover and publish original matter pertaining
-to the Pilgrims, and to authenticate, preserve, and mark spots of
-Pilgrim association.</p>
-
-<p>These things the historian, orator, and poet have helped do. In
-our libraries are carefully prepared writings on the subject by Fiske,
-Dexter, John Quincy Adams and Daniel Webster, Choate, Everett
-and Sumner, and so on down to Henry Cabot Lodge, Calvin Coolidge,
-and the third Governor Bradford. So diligent have writers and
-speakers been, it is difficult to find and add new facts.</p>
-
-<p>There are those who say, “It’s not what my ancestors did, it’s
-what I’ve done. I live in the present, not the past.” One must
-make good, but statistics prove those most successful are the first
-to preserve the best of the past.</p>
-
-<p>It is fitting and proper that the descendants of the Pilgrims should
-gather in Plymouth from time to time and give expression to the
-respect, gratitude and admiration they feel for the Pilgrims. To
-express sympathy for them for the terrible months they spent crossing
-the stormy Atlantic, and the added months on shipboard while
-shelters were being erected on shore for the first winter in a foreign
-land, when nearly half the company died of scurvy and ship fever,
-in spite of which not one member gave up and returned to England
-when the <i>Mayflower</i> sailed.</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_20"></a>[20]</span></p>
-
-<p>The Pilgrims believed in the equality of all men before God; they,
-therefore, made all men equal before the Law. On the Sarcophagus,
-which contains the remains of some of the Pilgrims, is this inscription:</p>
-
-<div class="blockquot">
-
-<p>“This monument marks the first burying-ground in Plymouth of the Passengers
-of the Mayflower. Here, under cover of darkness, the fast dwindling
-Company laid their dead; levelling the earth above them lest the
-Indians should learn how many were the graves. <em>READER</em>, History
-records no nobler venture for Faith and Freedom than that of this Pilgrim
-band. In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and
-cold they laid the foundations of a State wherein every man, through
-countless ages, should have liberty to worship God in his own way. May
-their example inspire thee to do thy part in perpetuating and spreading
-throughout the World the lofty Ideals of our Republic.”</p>
-</div>
-
-<p>We must admire the Pilgrims for their courage and piety, for their
-attachment to civil rights and religious liberty in exile, under unhappy
-conditions.</p>
-
-<p>There was a famine the first year, but no actual starvation as there
-were wild fowl, shellfish, and berries in abundance, but there was
-cold and snow, and there were Indians and sickness to cope with.</p>
-
-<p>A great disaster befell the community the second year which
-seldom seems to be mentioned, but which would have discouraged
-less resolute souls. The ship <i>Fortune</i> carrying their entire year’s
-yield of furs and products to England to be sold, was captured by
-the French as a prize.</p>
-
-<p>The gist of the preface of a book entitled “The Pilgrim Fathers,”
-by W. H. Bartlett, published in London, England, in 1853, is—</p>
-
-<div class="blockquot">
-
-<p>“Of the many heroic emigrations from our island, which have covered the
-face of the earth, no one is more singular than the band of sectaries driven
-forth in the reign of James I. In an age when toleration was unknown,
-they were thrust forth from their native land, thus the harshness of the
-rulers became the instrument which planted on American shores a mighty
-republic, the proudest and most powerful offshoot of the mother country,
-whose institutions, as thus founded, are not without a powerful reaction
-upon her own.</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_21"></a>[21]</span></p>
-
-<p>“The details of the story are unknown to the mass of English readers,
-while across the Atlantic they are known to almost every child, and numerous
-are the works published about them and many are the Americans who
-visit Boston, Scrooby and Leyden, but these publications and researchers
-are all unknown in England and therefore this continuous narrative.”</p>

-</div>
-
-
-<p class="drop-capy">WHO and what were the Pilgrims and in what way did they
-differ from the Puritans? They both were English and
-both lived in the same generation. The Pilgrims were a
-small band of staunch men, women and children who came to America
-for religious freedom. They were a part of a great movement. The
-Protestant Reformation, set on foot in England during the reign of
-Henry VIII, was finally accomplished in 1588 by the defeat of the
-Spanish Armada. It did not secure freedom of action or worship,
-however. There was no country then where such liberty was allowed;
-in fact, such a thing had never been thought of. The Reformation
-made the Sovereign, instead of the Pope, the head of the church
-in England, and there were changes in doctrine and ceremonials, but
-everyone was required to attend church whether he wished to or not
-and was also taxed to support it. The Bible had just been translated
-from Latin into English, and for the first time it was being
-generally circulated (1557-60).</p>
-
-<p>Among the Protestant reformers there were many who were not
-satisfied with the doctrines and ritual of the English church. They
-wished to simplify the government of the church and drop some of
-the ceremonies. This they considered purifying the church, which
-gave them the name of Puritans. Most of them had no thought or
-intention of leaving the Established Church. They wished to stay
-and be a part of it, but to change it according to their ideas.</p>

- <div class="caption">EDWARD WINSLOW, third Governor of Plymouth Colony. Great-grandfather of Edward Winslow,
-builder of The Mayflower Society House. Painted during a visit to England. Winslow is the only
-Pilgrim of whom there exists an authentic picture</div>
-</div>
-
-<p>Early in 1567 a number of ministers, despairing of getting the
-desired changes, made up their minds to separate from the church
-and hold religious services of their own. Robert Brown was one of
-them and went about the country advocating this policy of separation.
-Those who adopted it became known as Separatists or
-Brownists. They did not believe in having bishops rule over them.
-Some denied that the queen was head of the church. This was called
-treason. These were the people who became Pilgrims. The Puritans<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_23"></a>[23]</span>
-also questioned the spiritual authority of the bishops and claimed
-the right to worship as they saw fit, but they did nothing in particular
-about it.</p>
-
-<p>The Separatists, or better, Independents, which describes them
-accurately, established a little church in the hamlet of Scrooby,
-near Lincoln, where a congregation listened to the eloquent preaching
-of John Robinson. English laws provided imprisonment for
-those who refused to attend the Established Church, or were present
-at unlawful assemblies, with the further penalties, that the convicted
-must conform within three months or leave the country. If
-he refused, he should be deemed a felon and put to death without
-the benefit of clergy. The little church at Scrooby could not continue
-under these conditions. Some of the Separatists had given
-their lives, some were in prison, and others were in exile. Brown
-had fled the country, and so its members determined to cross to
-Holland. Under existing laws a family could not migrate without
-a license, and they were denied one. It was as dangerous to remain
-as it was to attempt to leave secretly. Meetings were held, and
-Separatists from Scrooby, Bristol, Exeter, Boston, and sundry other
-places planned to flee.</p>
-
-<p>In October 1607 they made their first attempt to leave from
-Boston in a chartered ship. They were seized, searched, and imprisoned.
-After a month all but seven of the principal men were
-released.</p>
-
-<p>The next year they arranged with a Dutch ship to meet them at
-a port near Grimsby at the mouth of the Humber, but the cautious
-skipper got scared and after taking a few of the women and children
-aboard, cast off, leaving the husbands and a majority to be seized
-by the sheriff and his men. Following this, there was no mass effort
-to cross to Holland, but, with much difficulty and by departing<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_24"></a>[24]</span>
-one or two at a time, all got over. After a short stay in Amsterdam
-they made their way to Leyden. Here they were joined by other
-refugees from England, until there were more than a thousand.
-The Pilgrims remained in Leyden for eleven years (1609 to 1620).
-Brewster became a printer, Robinson entered the University, and
-all found work in different occupations. They labored hard and
-continuously. They found in Holland peace and the religious
-freedom they had left their English homes for, but there were other
-factors which made them, after a decade, seriously consider leaving
-Holland. They wished the protection of the English flag; they
-were losing the English language, and their children were marrying
-among the Dutch. After careful consideration they decided that
-the Virginia Colony, extending from Florida to New York, offered
-the best opportunity. Because of their separation from the Established
-Church, the King would not guarantee them protection,
-but agreed not to molest them, and under this agreement they
-obtained a patent from the London Company to settle on the New
-Jersey Coast.</p>
-
-<p>It was necessary to secure financial aid, and this they obtained
-from a group of London merchants, known as the Adventurers.
-The contract was an oppressive one and became more so as the
-colonists built their houses; but it cannot be called unfair, considering
-the financial risk involved. It provided that for seven
-years the income of the colony should go into a common fund and
-from this the colonists would get their living. At the end of the period
-the investment and profits, real and personal, should be equally
-divided between the Adventurers and the Planters in accordance
-with the number of shares each held. Its effect was to establish a
-community life which, long before the seven years were up, resulted
-in embarrassment and open disaffection, and a compromise between<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_25"></a>[25]</span>
-the parties was effected by which the Adventurers were to be paid
-the sum of eighteen hundred pounds sterling 26 November 1626.
-Here was Communism pure and simple, and it was a monumental
-failure and was given up after three years. If Communism cannot
-succeed under these conditions, with the type of people the Pilgrims
-were, speaking the same language, governed by the same laws, with
-common history, tradition, and memories, how could Communism
-possibly prove a success under far less favorable circumstances
-today?</p>
-
-<p>The conditions upon which the Pilgrims secured their transportation
-to America indicate the exhausted state of their finances, and
-they probably never would have given their assent to the conditions
-imposed, if not absolutely forced to do so. The famous Captain John
-Smith wrote in 1624 that the Adventurers who raised the money
-to begin and supply the Plymouth plantation were about seventy
-in number, some merchants, some handicraftsmen, some risking
-great sums, some small, as their affection served. They dwelt mostly
-about London, knit together by a voluntary combination in a society,
-without constraint or penalty, aiming to do good and plant religion.
-The sad intelligence conveyed by the <i>Mayflower</i> on her return to
-London of the sufferings, sickness, and death, produced a disheartening
-effect in the most zealous friends, and the necessary supplies
-required by the infant colony were refused, though they had been
-promised.</p>
-
-<p>After the Pilgrims had secured financial aid the little band (July
-1620) left Leyden and sailed from Delfts-haven in Holland in the
-<i>Speedwell</i>, which they had bought for the purpose, to Southampton
-where the <i>Mayflower</i> was awaiting them with friends. Two weeks
-later the <i>Mayflower</i> and the <i>Speedwell</i> left Southampton for America.
-The <i>Mayflower</i> of one hundred and eighty tons burden (the <i>Queen<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_26"></a>[26]</span>
-Mary</i> of today is over eighty-three thousand tons) had been chartered
-to transport a part of the Leyden congregation to America.</p>
-
-<p>Before they were out of the English Channel the <i>Speedwell</i> began
-leaking badly and they ran into Dartmouth for repairs. 2 September
-they made a second start, but trouble developed and they returned
-this time to Plymouth. Here they reorganized the expedition.
-The <i>Speedwell</i> was left behind, some of her passengers were taken on
-the <i>Mayflower</i> and the others left in England. On 16 September
-1620 the <i>Mayflower</i> sailed again and ten weeks later, after a voyage
-filled with hardships and peril, having been driven far off her course,
-came to anchor in Cape Cod Harbor. When the Cape was sighted
-it was decided to sail south for a permanent home, but before the
-day was over they found themselves in dangerous shoals and roaring
-breakers and turned back to settle beyond the limits of their patent.</p>
-
-<p>Only about one half of the passengers on the <i>Mayflower</i> were
-members of the Leyden congregation. Other motives, without
-thought of religious dissent or separation from the Established Church
-of England, had added many strangers to the company, and there
-arose mutterings of discontent among them.</p>
-
-<p>It became evident, therefore, that some means should be devised
-to maintain law and order as they were out of the jurisdiction of
-their patent. To accomplish this the members of the Pilgrim Company
-met in the cabin of the <i>Mayflower</i> off the shores of Cape Cod
-on 21 November 1620 and banded themselves together by the now
-famous document known as the Mayflower Compact.</p>
-
-<p>The <a href="#Page_28">Mayflower Compact</a> is a great contribution to civil liberty
-and democracy; it ranks with the Declaration of Independence and
-the Constitution of the United States. Our democracy was based
-on it from the landing of the Pilgrims. The Pilgrims established
-what they planned. The Plymouth settlement was the start of religious<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_27"></a>[27]</span>
-freedom. We owe them a great debt of gratitude. They were
-unimportant people, and their departure attracted little or no attention.
-Some were educated, others were not; some had means,
-most little or nothing, but all had character and courage. We call
-them ordinary people, but their accomplishment made history.
-When they wrote and signed the Compact they gave the world a
-new political idea for government by the people, and when, under
-the Compact, they organized the government of Plymouth, they
-laid the foundation of political liberty for this nation.</p>
-
-<p>Students of governmental history the world over, as well as statesmen,
-now know of the Mayflower Compact and discuss it. It cannot
-receive too much publicity, and there is no better place to reprint
-it than here in this story of the “House of Edward Winslow” where
-it can be easily and frequently perused.</p>
-
-<p>In no part of the world up to then did there exist a government
-of just and equal laws. It is the first incident where a government
-was formed by the governed, by their consent in writing at one
-time. One hundred and fifty years later its principles really framed
-the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United
-States, and our laws today are interwoven with the ideals of this
-band of Pilgrims.</p>
-
-<p>One month after the signing of the Compact, the exploring party
-of eighteen men in the ship’s shallop that had left the ship 16 December,
-landed at Plymouth. Plymouth was not just what they wanted,
-but as Brewster said, it was the best they had seen. They returned
-to the ship and on 26 December 1620 the <i>Mayflower</i> and her passengers
-reached Plymouth. It was 31 March that the last of them
-went ashore for good.</p>
-
-<p>On 15 April 1621 the <i>Mayflower</i> sailed on her return trip, leaving
-every one of the survivors of the Pilgrim Company behind. It was a
-more striking picture than her departure from England. A situation<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_30"></a>[30]</span>
-more discouraging for the Pilgrims could hardly be conceived.</p>
-
-<p>Some interesting occurrences which happened on board the <i>Mayflower</i>
-during the trip, are taken from the manuscript of “Prince’s
-Annals,” in his handwriting. Prince had drawn his pen diagonally
-across the passages, and they do not appear in his published work.
-They were first printed in the April number 1847 the <cite>New England
-Historical and Genealogical Register</cite>. It reads:</p>
-
-<div class="blockquot">
-
-<p>“In a mighty storme a lustie yonge man called John Howland came upon
-some occasion above ye gratings, was with a seele of ye ship throwne into
-ye sea; but it pleased God yt he caught hould of ye top saile halliards,
-which hung overboard and rane out at length; yet he held his hould (though
-he was sundrie fadomes under water) till he was hald up by ye same rope
-to ye brink of ye water and then with a boat hook and other means got
-into ye shipe again, and his life saved, and though he was somewhat ill
-with it, yet he lived many years after, and became a profitable member
-both of church and comonwelth.”</p>
-</div>
-
-<p>And the manuscript goes on to tell of a proud, very profane young
-man, one of the seamen of husky and able body, which made him the
-more haughty, who was always annoying the poor people in their
-sickness by cursing them daily and telling them he hoped to help
-cast half of them overboard before they came to their journey’s end
-and if he ever, by any was gently reproved, he would curse and
-swear most bitterly. But it pleased God to smite this young man
-with a grievous disease, of which he died in a desperate manner and
-so was himself the first to be thrown overboard.</p>
-
-<p>John Carver, who had been chosen Governor, died the first winter,
-and William Bradford succeeded him. The Colony grew slowly.
-By 1630 it had but 300 persons in it, but it had paid the London
-merchants. There is little question that the contract was burdensome
-and oppressive. But as proof that the Pilgrims harbored no<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_31"></a>[31]</span>
-resentment is this laudable act: the Plymouth Colony General Court
-in 1660 ordered that twenty pounds should be sent to a Mr. Ling, one
-of the Merchant Adventurers, “who had fallen to decay and had felt
-great extremity of poverty, the same twenty pounds being bestowed
-on him towards his relief and if it was not given voluntarily that
-the amount that fell short ‘bee’ made up out of the ‘Countrey
-stocke’ by the Treasurer.”</p>
-
-<p>The Colony made a treaty with Massasoit, Chief of the Wampanoag
-Indians, which lasted until broken by his son in 1675. By
-1640 the population had increased to over 3000.</p>
-
-<p>As for the Puritans, they became powerful in England and comprised
-many men of wealth and culture and social standing. Little
-bodies of them, encouraged by the example of the Pilgrims, began
-to settle upon the shores of Massachusetts. In 1628 John Endicott
-and a shipload took command of the place the Indians called Naumkeag
-and gave it the Bible name of Salem, or Peace. When they arrived
-they found Roger Conant and his followers, who were, after
-several years of struggling, happily settled. Endicott practically
-kicked them out. Within a few years all of Conant’s followers had
-moved across the river and established new homes in what became
-Beverly.</p>
-
-<p>In 1629 a number of leading Puritans in England bought of the
-Plymouth Company a large tract of land, bounded by the Charles
-and Merrimac Rivers and stretching inland indefinitely. They got a
-charter from Charles I and incorporated as the Governor and Company
-of Massachusetts Bay. Under John Winthrop, a wise and
-able man, they came over to Salem, bringing 1000 persons, with
-horses and cattle, and during that year Charlestown, Chelsea, and a
-small hilly peninsular, called by the Indians Shawmut and by the
-English Trimountain, or Tremont, and soon changed to Boston, from<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_32"></a>[32]</span>
-which the leading settlers had come, were settled. By 1634 nearly
-4000 settlers had arrived from England, coming usually in congregations,
-led by their minister and settled together in parishes or
-townships until there were about twenty.</p>
-
-<p>In 1636 it was voted to establish a college three miles from Boston
-at a place called New Town, now Cambridge. A young clergyman,
-John Harvard, bequeathed his books and half his estate and the
-new college was called by his name.</p>
-
-<p>The colonization of New England was a complicated affair. The
-Massachusetts Bay Colony was the largest. South of it was the
-Plymouth Colony, the oldest. Then there was Rhode Island and
-Providence Plantation and the Connecticut Colony. In 1643 these
-four Colonies formed a confederation for defense called the United
-Colonies of New England. In 1692 King William arranged things
-to his liking; he annexed the Plymouth Colony to the Massachusetts
-Bay Colony, but let Connecticut and Rhode Island keep their
-beloved charters, and so the Plymouth Colony forever after remained
-a part of Massachusetts.</p>
-
-<p>The establishment of the New England Confederacy, the division
-of the ancient church, the annexation to the Massachusetts
-Bay Colony, the loss of wealth and population, marked the end of
-Plymouth as an independent Colony, but not of the great influence
-which the Plymouth Colony and the Pilgrims have exerted, and, we
-hope, will continue to exert with increasing force, in perpetuating,
-as it originally established, our democratic form of government.</p>

-things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg&#8482; electronic works
-even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See
-paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project
-Gutenberg&#8482; electronic works if you follow the terms of this

-1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation (&#8220;the

-States. If an individual work is unprotected by copyright law in the
-United States and you are located in the United States, we do not
-claim a right to prevent you from copying, distributing, performing,
-displaying or creating derivative works based on the work as long as
-all references to Project Gutenberg are removed. Of course, we hope
-that you will support the Project Gutenberg&#8482; mission of promoting
-free access to electronic works by freely sharing Project Gutenberg&#8482;
-works in compliance with the terms of this agreement for keeping the
-Project Gutenberg&#8482; name associated with the work. You can easily
-comply with the terms of this agreement by keeping this work in the
-same format with its attached full Project Gutenberg&#8482; License when
-you share it without charge with others.
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern

-agreement before downloading, copying, displaying, performing,
-distributing or creating derivative works based on this work or any
-other Project Gutenberg&#8482; work. The Foundation makes no
-representations concerning the copyright status of any work in any
-country other than the United States.

-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest

-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United

-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
