Description

John Alden: A Life in the New World This biography tells the story of John Alden, one of the pilgrims who founded Plymouth Colony, and his life in the early years of the American colonies. Commissioned by his descendant Augustus Alden, the book provides a detailed account of the period in which John was born, including the tumultuous politics of Elizabethan England. Aboard the Mayflower, John Alden played a vital role as a cooper, maintaining the barrels that held essential supplies for the passengers. His life in Plymouth Colony was marked by diligence and active service, as he held various roles including treasurer and served on the Council of War. He also oversaw aspects of trade and was reelected to the Governor's Council for an impressive 47 years. John Alden's life was long and successful, marked by the founding of a thriving colony and the signing of the original Mayflower Compact. This book offers a unique insight into the life of one of America's most fascinating historical figures, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the early history of the United States.
