Title: Legends, loves and loyalties of old New England
Description: This amazing 344-page book was written and published by my great grandmother, Caroline Goodenough, in the early 1900's. Her narrative style makes her genealogy descriptions riveting and well worth the read. A valuable resource for genealogical information that not only gives dates and genealogical lines, but also describes incidents and experiences that would be hard to find anywhere else. While it may not have the fame that other genealogical books of the time have, it should not be discarded in disdain. I fortunately own one of the one thousand copies printed, purchased by me on e-Bay, given to a Mrs. Willard E. Slagle by my great grandmother herself. As a Mayflower descendant of a number of Mayflower passengers, including John Alden, this book has become one of my most treasured and useful possessions.
