Publisher Description: First published in 1898, "The Pilot of the Mayflower; a Tale of the Children of the Pilgrim Republic" is a semi-fictional account of the known incidents that took place aboard the 'Mayflower', an English ship that transported early Pilgrims to the New World in 1620. The ship has since become an important part of American history and culture, as well as the subject of innumerable works of art, plays, films, poems, songs, books, etc. A fascinating story highly recommended for those with an interest in the first settlers of America and American history in general. Contents include: "The Pilot and the Indians", "The Boys and the Jackscrew", "'By Ahaya River'", "The Pilot and the Little Pilgrims - The story of the Captain Indian Tusquanto", "Epenow, the Indian Wonder", "The Story of the Speedwell", "The Tale of Henry Hudson", etc. Hezekiah Butterworth (1839-1905) was an American poet and author most famous for his books for young readers, including "The Knight of Liberty", " The Patriot Schoolmaster", and "The Wampum Belt".
