Recent Themes in Early American History
Described as "the New York Review of Books for history," Historically Speaking has emerged as one of the most distinctive historical publications in recent years, actively seeking out contributions from a pantheon of leading voices in historical discourse. Recent Themes in Early American History represents the best writing on colonial and revolutionary-era American history to appear in its pages the past five years. This collection of recent essays and interviews from Historically Speaking demonstrates that traditional approaches still foster fresh understanding of the early American past and that original contributions to traditional topics continue to be made.
They Knew They Were Pilgrims
Published for the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower's landing, this ambitious new history of the Pilgrims and Plymouth Colony "will become the new standard work on the Plymouth Colony." (Thomas Kidd) "Informative, accessible, and compelling. . . . A welcome invitation to rediscover the Mayflower voyage and the founding of Plymouth Colony."--Daniel M.

Letters on Toleration
The 17th century was a difficult time for the Anabaptists of Europe. Hounded out of Switzerland and driven hither and yon through other parts of Europe, it was not until arrival in America that many Mennonites found their paradise.

Among the host of letters showing officials arguing, ministers remonstrating, Dutch fellow-Mennonites and ordinary Dutch citizens raising relief funds are golden nuggets of genealogical data. Hundreds of Mennonite refugee families are detailed, most often with ages, occupations, origins, spouse's and children's names given.
Strangers and Pilgrims, Travellers and Sojourners
"Controversies in politics and religion, customs of family life and society, obligations of labor and chances to play, questions of free will, democracy, the separation of church and state, religious toleration, treatment of Indians---these form the matter of this book." -- Publisher's description.
One Small Candle
Four hundred years ago, a group of men and women who had challenged the religious establishment of early seventeenth-century England and struggled as refugees in the Netherlands risked everything to build a new community in America. The story of those who journeyed across the Atlantic on the Mayflower has been retold many times, but the faith and religious practices of these settlers has frequently been neglected or misunderstood. In One Small Candle, Francis J. Bremer focuses on the role of religion in the settlement of the Plymouth Colony and how those values influenced political, intellectual, and cultural aspects of New England life a hundred and fifty years before the American Revolutio...
