First Edition. Lobel dustjacket art. Fictionalized account of the Mayflower and the Pilgrim's enterprise, reconstructed from the viewpoint of modern America. "While it debunks in large measure the story of the Mayflower and the Pilgrims it changes the tinsel gilt into pure gold, and produces a picture of courageous, ignorant, often bigoted but amazingly tenacious men and women who, searching for large profits, founded a civilization that now tops the world". Near Fine in attractive Very Good plus dustjacket. Item #17567

Second Printing. Mack dustjacket art. "The modern story of an ancient hero who was strong enough to conquer men and ignore the laws of God, but could never escape the myth that he did it all for the greater glory of God's country". Near Fine in Very Good dustjacket, fairly shallow chipping at spine ends. Item #22039
