A Pilgrim Maid: A Story of Plymouth Colony in 1620

This story is like those we hear of our neighbours to-day: it is a mixture of fact and fancy. The aim in telling it has been to present Plymouth Colony as it was in its first three years of existence; to keep to possibilities, even while inventing incidents. Actual events have been transferred from a later to an earlier year when they could be made useful, to bring them within the story's compass, and to develop it.
