Days of the Colonists Illil ' 111. liiL — . DAYS OF THE COLONISTS Author of "Days of the Discoverers," etc. Great events in the early days of our history vividly described and vitalized by the use of new naterial . Starting with John Smith in 1607, on through the finding of Plymouth; the early settlement of Manhattan; the early days of Delaware, New Hampshire, Maryland; the founding of Connecticut—all the events of outstanding days are made real, through to the signing of the Declaration of Indepen- dence. The distinctive feature of this author's work -. the feature that has made her books invaluable -^^P. -fco to parents , teachers and librarians—is her ability B© ^a q f-" to get at and put into living words fresh informa- * tion on subjects seemingly exhausted by histo- rians. Not only does Miss Lamprey tell the important facts connected with the development of the different colo- W^'^ nies but she also brings out the human side of history and tells interestingly of the beginnings of some of the I -^ -^ most significant features of American life. Do you L-ii-<' know about the first American inventor? About the girl who started the indigo industry in the South ? About the first Swedish settlements? Do \^ou know about the first appearance of young George Washington in public life? About the first missionary work among the negro slaves? All this can be found in these remarkable stories which, taken together, form a real history of American life.

With blossoms brave in rose and gold Or pinafored in white. And if they stood so prim and tall As pilgrim children stand. And if they served the gracious Lord Who gave them to the land, When summer moonlight waked on earth Its wild mysterious spell, O then the flowers remembered things They never chose to tell! Then morning-glories trumpeted Their elfin reveille. And dewdrop lanterns lit the masque That vanished with the day, When Ragged Robin, Bouncing Bet, Lad's Love and London Pride Went dancing to the fairy lutes. With many a flower beside!

John Smith was scouring the Virginia wilder- ness for corn. He had with him eight other Englishmen and two Indian guides. Even with the light draft of the little vessel he was tacking cautiously as the wind served, lest he run aground. When Captain Newport sailed for England he had left the colony with barely four months' provisions. That was on June 22nd, and it was now the loth of December. Before the fierce heat of the summer was half over, the daily ration for each man was only half a pint of wheat and half a pint of barley, boiled to an unpalatable mush. The brackish river water was the only drink. More than fifty of the hundred colonists Newport had left were now in their graves, and no help had come from home. The Indians had grown shy or suspicious, and re- moved themselves with their stores of corn to some unknown place. In one way this was a relief, since a single attack by savages might have wiped out the colony altogether. But as Smith observed, whetting his dagger on the sole of his jack-boot, a man is no more dead when brained with a stone club than when 2 DAYS OF THE COLONISTS starved to death—only dead a little sooner. When cool weather came they fared a Httle better, for there was fresh meat. Wild geese were honking northward, ducks and pigeons could be snared or shot, now and then there was venison, some of which was dried for future use by the careful Captain. Still, nothing could take the place of grain. If the settlers hoped to live through the winter they must have bread—if it was only the flat cakes of Indian meal such as the wild men had. It would go excellently well with a fat 'possum knocked off a tree somewhere and roasted over the camp-fire. The exploring party was following the river, which Smith reckoned by his compass to be hereabouts more or less parallel to the James. The weather was mild and delicate, with no sign of winter, and he meant to keep on somehow, afoot or afloat, until he found that corn. When the shallop, a sloop-rigged craft of about twelve tons, could go no further, he could take the two Indians and two white companions and proceed by canoe. This he presently did, leaving the rest to guard the sailing vessel where it lay at anchor. A while after the canoe disappeared those who re- mained thought they caught a glimpse of shadowy figures flitting in the same direction through the forest, though the woodlands were as silent as the creeping waters. Then they fancied that far away they heard shots and a cry, but nothing more occurred, nor did any message or sign come from their leader. At last they gave up hope and went back to Jamestown. Meanwhile the canoe had gone bravely on till the water trail it was following led into a swamp, a wild gigantic mockery of a Lincolnshire fen, its waters black as night in the pools. But over its wide stretches no MATAOKA'S WHITE MAN 3 wind-mills creaked and no bells rang, and the white oaks had never heard the sound of axe. The Captain landed to take his bearings and examine the forest, and there was a whooping rush of savages upon them.

  • Girls on the Mayflower
    Girls on the Mayflower http://members.aol.com/calebj/girls.html (out of circulation; see: https://www.prettytough.com/girls-on-the-mayflower/ http://mayflowerhistory.com/girls https://itchyfish.com/oceanus-hopkins-the-child-born-aboard-the-mayflower/ ) While much attention is focused on the men who came on the Mayflower, few people realize and take note that there were eleven girls on board, ranging in ages from less than a year old up to about sixteen or seventeen. William Bradford wrote that one of the Pilgrim's primary concerns was that the "weak bodies" of the women and girls would not be able to handle such a long voyage at sea, and the harsh life involved in establishing a new colony. For this reason, many girls were left behind, to be sent for later after the Colony had been established. Some of the daughters left behind include Fear Brewster (age 14), Mary Warren (10), Anna Warren (8), Sarah Warren (6), Elizabeth Warren (4), Abigail Warren (2), Jane Cooke (8), Hester Cooke (1), Mary Priest (7), Sarah Priest (5), and Elizabeth and Margaret Rogers. As it would turn out however, the girls had the strongest bodies of them all. No girls died on the Mayflower's voyage, but one man and one boy did. And the terrible first winter, twenty-five men (50%) and eight boys (36%) got sick and died, compared to only two girls (16%). So who were these girls? One of them was under the age of one, named Humility Cooper. Her father had died, and her mother was unable to support her; so she was sent with her aunt and uncle on the Mayflower.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. “SO LONG AS THE WORK IS DONE”: RECOVERING JANE GOODWIN AUSTIN by KARI HOLLOWAY MILLER Under the Direction of Janet Gabler-Hover, PhD ABSTRACT The American author Jane Goodwin Austin published 24 novels and numerous short stories in a variety of genres between 1859 and 1892. Austin’s most popular works focus on her Pilgrim ancestors, and she is often lauded as a notable scholar of Puritan history who carefully researched her subject matter; however, several of the most common myths about the Pilgrims seem to have originated in Austin’s fiction. As a writer who saw her work as her means of entering the public sphere and enacting social change, Austin championed women and religious diversity. The range of Austin’s oeuvre, her coterie of notable friendships, especially amongst New England elites, and her impact on American myth and culture make her worthy of in-depth scholarly study, yet, inexplicably, very little critical work exists on Austin.

  • Mayflower 187
    Mayflower 187 The Pilgrims A strange group of religious dissenters called “Pilgrims” had fled England circa 1608 to escape persecution and had settled in Leyden, Holland. A decade later, distressed by the fact that their children were losing contact with their English traditions and unable to earn a decent living in Holland, they had decided to seek a place to live and worship as they pleased in the emptiness of the New World. They approached Sir Edwin Sandys seeking permission to establish a settlement within the London Company’s jurisdiction; and Sandys, while not sympathetic to their religious views, appreciated their inherent worth and saw to it that their wish was granted. The Pilgrims boarded the Speedwell and sailed from Delfthaven, Holland. They joined with friends who had embarked on the Mayflower at Southhampton and sailed for the New World on August 6, 1620. However, the Speedwell leaked badly and both ships returned to Plymouth. Eventually, the Speedwell was sold and on September 6, l620, the group of about a hundred set out on the Mayflower. Had the Mayflower reached its intended destination in Virginia, the Pilgrims might well have been soon forgotten. However, they had been carried far out of their way, and the ship touched America on the desolate northern end of Cape Cod Bay. Unwilling to remain longer at the mercy of storm-tossed December seas, the settlers decided to remain. Since they were outside the jurisdiction of the London Company, the group claimed to be free of all governmental control. Therefore, before going ashore, the Pilgrims drew up the Mayflower Compact.

Material is broken into general project information, family research, and town/village research. Administrative Information Access Restrictions: Access to materials may be restricted based on their condition; consult the Archive for more information. Use Restrictions: Use of materials may be restricted based on their condition or copyright status; consult the Archives for more information. Acquisition Information: Plimoth Plantation Related Collections and Resources: TBD Historical Note The English Origins Project was a project undertaken by researchers from Plimoth Plantation in 1984. The project was funded by an NEH Grant. The goal of the project was to gather information from towns and communities in England where the early settlers of Plymouth Colony lived before they migrated to America. The hope was to gather information to help create training manuals for the interpreters at Plimoth Plantation so that they could more accurately portray the early settlers. Plimoth Plantation is a living history museum where the interpreters provide the bulk of the information and knowledge about the 17th century settlement to the guests therefore accurate portrayal is very important. This project greatly improved interpretation and continues to benefit both interpreters and guests of the museum to this day. The research focused on dialect, folklore, material culture, agriculture, architecture, and social history.

  • Children on the Mayflower
    PILGRIM HALL MUSEUM America’s Oldest Continuous Museum – Located in Historic Plymouth Massachusetts www.pilgrimhallmuseum.org CHILDREN ON THE MAYFLOWER How many children were on the Mayflower? This seems like an easy question but it is hard to answer! Let’s say we wanted to count every passenger on the ship who was 18 years of age or younger. To figure out how old a person was in 1620, when the Mayflower voyage took place, you would need to know their date of birth. In some cases, though, there just isn’t enough information! On this list, we’ve included passengers who were probably or possibly age 18 or less. Some children were traveling with their families. Others came over as servants or apprentices. Still others were wards, or children in the care of guardians. There are 35 young people on the list. Some of them may have been very close to adulthood, like the servant Dorothy (last name unknown), who was married in the early years of Plymouth Colony. The list also includes Will Butten. He was a youth who died during the voyage and never arrived to see land. This list includes very young children and even some babies! Oceanus Hopkins was born during the Mayflower’s voyage across the Atlantic. The baby was given his unusual name as a result. Another boy, Peregrine White, was born aboard the ship while it was anchored at Cape Cod harbor - his name means traveler or “pilgrim.” A good source for more information on Mayflower passengers is Caleb Johnson’s http://mayflowerhistory.com/mayflower- passenger-list.
