This is the first truly complete treatment of the history and genealogy of Plymouth Colony. It includes a concise history of the colony, both chronologically and topically, and more than 300 biographical sketches of its inhabitants. Richly documented and illustrated with maps and photographs, the three-dimensional Plymouth Colony: Its History & People, 1620-1691 was written for historians and genealogists alike and provides and in-depth view of this important epoch in American history. The researcher will find the verbatim transcriptions of important contemporary documents in the eleven appendices invaluable, and the annotated bibliography clearly describes the abundance of primary and secondary literature on Plymouth Colony. Mr. Stratton's work set a new standard worthy of emulation by all serious scholars.

Interesting Theories

Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2019

This is the 1st book I have read on the Lost Colony but I would like to read more to see what others say about it & the conclusions they come to. If there were numerous reports of interaction with the colonists from a variety of locations after the original colony was found abandoned I don't know why it hasn't been assumed they just scattered so I'd like to read at least one more book about it to see what those authors say. I plan on reading this again, too, to be sure I correctly understand the conclusions put forth here. One thing I found annoying was the overuse of incomplete sentences which is sometimes used for effect when a period is used instead of a comma followed by a phrase rather than a sentence. I thought this was longer than it needed to be & that the author went down a few too many rabbit holes. Also a lot of time was spent on linguistics which I found boring & skimmed over. I am going to read it again, tho, b/c the politics going on in England at the time & his theories about that are confusing but intriguing. I didn't know anything about any of that but have since learned a little so I may understand it better. It's definitely worth reading & I did enjoy it, I just couldn't give it 5 stars.

Still Prospering After 400 Years

Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2021

This brief history of the Plymouth colony fit my needs exactly. I grew up on the South Shore of Massachusetts in Plymouth County and have taken a deep dive into a family history that is closely aligned with the history of the Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay colonies. I was looking for a concise history of the Plymouth colony and this book filled the bill. Stratton covers the evolution of Plymouth colony from its founding to its incorporation into Massachusetts in detail, quoting from original sources and providing a useful appendix that lists the settlers that participated in the division of land and cattle in the colony. The short biographical sketches of the "Old Comers" proved to be useful for my own research and should be entertaining for the general reader, as well. I am certain that corrections to this account will be made in the future, but in the meantime this book is a good starting point for anyone interested in the history of the settlement of Massachusetts in the 17th century.

Don’t buy this if you think it will be an easy read because it’s not. However, if you had family in early day Plymouth, or think you did, this is a great research tool. For me, it just verified that my research was correct, and that’s always a great thing!

Great reference guide

This is the definitive book for those researching ancestry beginning with, not just Mayflower passengers, but also those who followed and lived in Plymouth Colony. I've read a lot of different books on the subject but none as complete as this one.

very boring

Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2021

Verified Purchase

Book appears to be very well documented and seemingly factual, but reads like a dry academic textbook. No storyline, no organization, just a kind of rambling of factual statements about Plymouth and the surrounding colonies. Difficult to read without falling asleep. Nothing really pulls you in or makes you want to keep reading.
