Goodsell is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around Peter the Hermit, a pivotal figure in the Crusades, who inspired a movement to reclaim Jerusalem through impassioned preaching and enthusiastic leadership. The work aims to delve into the historical context of the Crusades, exploring the motivations, experiences, and eventual outcomes faced by Peter and his contemporaries. The opening of the text establishes the groundwork for understanding the religious climate that led to the Crusades, emphasizing the universal appeal of pilgrimages and the desire to reconnect with sacred places. It introduces Peter as a man of humble beginnings who is deeply moved by the plight of the Christians in Jerusalem and compelled by spiritual fervor to lead an army to their aid. The text suggests that despite Peter's charisma and zeal, the lack of organization and youthful naivety among the Crusaders posed significant challenges. It hints at the mixed motives involved in this quest for the Holy Land, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of the complex intersections between faith, power, and human ambition throughout the Crusades.
