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.

Like a reference book on the Mayflower but readable too

If you want information about the Mayflower passengers, this is the best book for that I have seen. It is not a history of the Pilgrims but rather a series of about 50 biographies on all the Mayflower families, each bio is anywhere between 1 to 20 pages. It is full of names and dates and places like a reference book but still reads like biographies making it interesting to genealogists and history buffs both. Very detailed and well researched and lots of endnotes.
