Synopsis
Excerpt from Isaac Allerton: First Assistant of Plymouth Colony
If any find patience to read this account of an ancient controversy, he hopes that his lack of skill in arranging and presenting the case may not prevent their taking an impartial view of the evidence.
With little Opinion of the fairness of Bradford as a historian, or of his abilities as a business manager, the writer has neither intention nor desire to disparage the courage and political tact which enabled the governor to lead Plymouth colony through its early years of poverty, weakness and dissension, to better and more stable condi tions.
It is only with his injustice and jealousy, which left a legacy of detraction to be administered upon two hundred years later, that the writer has any quarrel.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life and legacy of Isaac Allerton, a pivotal figure in the early years of Plymouth Colony. Often overshadowed by names like Bradford and Winslow, Allerton's story offers a fresh perspective on the struggles and triumphs of the Pilgrims. Through meticulous research, the author reconstructs Allerton's journey from his origins in England to his rise as a successful merchant in Holland and eventual role as a leader in the New World. We witness his crucial contributions, including negotiating vital financial support for the fledgling colony and securing crucial patents. However, Allerton's path was not without conflict. Accusations of financial impropriety and his more liberal religious views ultimately led to his departure from Plymouth. This book sheds light on these controversies, offering a nuanced analysis of Allerton's actions and motivations. Ultimately, this book challenges existing narratives and paints a more complete picture of a complex and often misunderstood figure. By exploring Allerton's life, we gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by the early colonists and the diverse perspectives that shaped the Plymouth Colony. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331566021_0
