Pilgrim Alden
This historical biography of John Alden, one of the pilgrims who founded Plymouth Colony, was commissioned by his descendant Augustus Alden. We commence with a summary of the period in which John was born; Elizabethan England and its politics are pertinent to how the subject's life ensued. Discontent with religious persecutions they saw as untenable, Alden and the other emigrants to North America planned their voyage to New England. They obtained a ship named the Mayflower for passage, and successfully founded the famous settlement at Plymouth despite shortages of food and adverse conditions. John's role aboard ship was that of cooper; maintaining the barrels which held supplies vital to the...

Excerpt from Pilgrim Alden: The Story of the Life of the First John Alden in America, With the Interwoven Story of the Life and Doings of the Pilgrims Colony, and Some Account of Later Aldens Hidden away in the mind's dim attics are bits of the ah cient furnishings and trappings which were the decking of their days. Yet the Old furniture is Often still sub stantial, and an ancient mirror, polished anew, is some times brought forth, at the unexpected moment, in the unexpected way, revealing us as strangers to ourselves. Perhaps we may never know ourselves, quite as we are, save we polish and brighten the ancient mirrors. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of r...
A History of the American Revolution
The history of the American rebellion against England, written by one of America’s preeminent eighteenth-century historians, differs from many views of the Revolution. It is not colored by excessive worship of the Founding Fathers but, instead, permeated by sympathy for all those involved in the conflict. Alden has taken advantage of recent scholarship that has altered opinions about George III and Lord North. But most of all this is a balanced history—political, military, social, constitutional—of the thirteen colonies from the French and Indian War in 1763 to Washington’s inauguration in 1789. Whether dealing with legendary figures like Adams and Jefferson or lesser-known aspects of a much picked-over subject, Alden writes with insights and broad eloquence.
The Word of Islam
Compiled with the intention of letting Islam describe itself in its own words, this book is an important source for all students of Muslim culture and world religions. It includes an interpretation of the Qur'an, as well as portions of the Hadith--sayings and actions of the Prophet--Islamic law, mysticism (Sufism), theology, and sectarian writings.
The Mayflower and Her Passengers
When the Mayflower embarked on her famous voyage to America in 1620, she was carrying 102 passengers. To most, they are simply known as “the Pilgrims.” Perhaps the name of Governor William Bradford, Elder William Brewster, or Captain Myles Standish are vaguely familiar; but the vast majority of the Mayflower passengers have remained anonymous and nameless. In The Mayflower and Her Passengers, I have attempted to resurrect the unique individuality of each passenger by providing short biographies for each person or family group. Also included is a groundbreaking new biography of the Mayflower ship itself.
