520 |a The story of a small group of English Puritans who, in the early 17th century, set sail to find a new life and a new Church in New England. Brought together by the recruiting powers and visionary drive of the famous Dorchester clergyman, John White, these pilgrims - many of them West Country neighbors and some connected by marriage- embarked on their hazardous voyage. On 20 March 1630 the first of them boarded the Mary and John and set sail across the Atlantic to found Dorchester on Massachusetts Bay. Within five years the greater part of the community had uprooted themselves and trekked through the New England wilderness to settle on its 'frontier', the Connecticut River. Here, in a single plantation they still persisted as that same close-knit West Country community. The lifestyle of apple orchards and cider, Devon cattly rearing and dairying, hemp and flax, preserved a West Country flavour. But inevitably the old ways had to be adapted. The book ends with the great Indian Revolt of 1675, and in describing how this crisis was met, the author shows how the passage of four decades had turned the children of Dorset pilgrims into pioneers of America's moving frontier.
