| Summary | "The Mayflower and Her Log; July 15, 1620-May 6, 1621 — Volume 1" by Azel Ames is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book primarily delves into the legendary voyage of the Mayflower, detailing the preparations, the ship's specifications, and the journey undertaken by the Pilgrims seeking a new life in America. The text merges original research with previously known details about the Pilgrims and their fleet, thereby positioning itself as a significant contribution to the understanding of this pivotal moment in American history. In this comprehensive narrative, Ames meticulously recounts both the logistical and the human elements involved in the Mayflower's journey. He introduces the reasons behind the emigration, the gathering of the Pilgrim group, and the challenges faced by both the Mayflower and her consort ship, the Speedwell, during their voyage. The lack of familiarity with ocean travel and the ship's eventual shortening of the planned journey resulted in numerous adversities which are critically analyzed. The author also makes an effort to correct historical inaccuracies while highlighting the diverse backgrounds of the passengers, their interactions, and the impacts of their decisions, all culminating in their arrival at Plymouth Rock and the establishment of a new colony.
