Description: Governor William Bradford, an eyewitness, reported the landing of the Mayflower passengers on the American shore in mid-November 1620. Never had a Promised Land looked more unpromising. But within a century and a half -- even before the American Revolution -- this forbidding scene had become one of the more "civill" parts of the world. The large outlines of a new civilization had been drawn. How did it happen?
Notes: First volume in the author's trilogy, the other two volumes being entitled 'The Americans: the national experience' (1965) and 'The Americans: the democratic experience' (1973).
