Steve Mattern "Who Were the Pilgrims?" by William T. Davis is a historical account written in the early 1880s. The book provides an exploration of the origins and journey of the Pilgrims, a group of Separatists who formed a distinct religious community in England, seeking a break from the Church of England and looking to establish a new life in America. It delves into the context of Puritanism and the Reformation that shaped their beliefs and actions. The book outlines the historical and religious background leading to the Pilgrims' migration, detailing key figures such as William Brewster, John Robinson, and William Bradford, who played significant roles in the formation of their congregation. It narrates their struggles against persecution in England, their eventual move to Holland to escape constrictive religious practices, and their painstaking efforts to secure a new home in the New World. The narrative portrays not only their determination for religious freedom but also their experiences and hardships during the voyage on the Mayflower and the establishment of their colony in Plymouth, emphasizing the impact they had on the development of American society and religion.
