THE
PILGRIM FATHERS
OF
NEW ENGLAND:
A HISTORY.

BY W. CARLOS MARTYN,

AUTHOR OF THE LIFE AND TIMES OF JOHN MILTON, A HISTORY
OF THE ENGLISH PURITANS, ETC.

“What sought they there, whose steps were on the dust

Of the old forest lords? Not summer skies,

Nor genial zephyrs, nor the amenities

Of golden spoils. Their strength was in the trust

That breasts all billows of the abyss of time,

The Rock of Ages, and its hopes sublime.”
