Banks collected available information on all passengers on the Mayflower and three other vessels that came to Plymouth in the early 1620s, comprising the English separatist Pilgrims who had sojourned in Leiden for the previous decade or so, but including also the strangers from London and elsewhere.
In preparing to write this volume, the author scoured the work of his predecessors in both England and Holland, but also undertook extensive investigations of his own in English records. The result is a substantial collections of relevant records, some of which served to prove the origins of some of the early Plymouth settlers, but even more of which provided clues to English origins.
After three-quarters of a century, the material included here has led to the discovery of the origins of many more of the Pilgrims and their fellow travellers. Even so, there remain yet more clues that will in the future be employed to develop even more origins for these early New Englanders.
In addition to providing information on every known passenger, whether Pilgrim or not, Banks paid close attention to a smaller group of individuals which have been largely ignored by others, the crew of the Mayflower itself. In so doing, he gives a broader than usual depiction of the experience of the passengers aboard ship.
