Description
What was it like as a young girl growing up on a farm in 17th-century New England? Join the author and his family as they venture back in time exploring their Mayflower roots to learn how their family tree grew from the first settlers of Plymouth Colony.
Abigail Little was born in 1634, the first generation of descendants from the original Plymouth Colony settlers. Granddaughter of Richard Warren, a well-to-do merchant who came over on the Mayflower and signed the Mayflower Compact, Abigail came of age while growing up with her large family on a farm during peaceful and prosperous times for the colonies. Her grandmother, Mistress Elizabeth Warren, the family matriarch, was the first woman in Colonial America to advocate for and win the right to own her husband's assets after his death, a significant milestone in women's rights at that time in history. Elizabeth and Richard are the start of a prolific family of which Abigail is born into as the first granddaughter. She must learn how to survive in a land with cold winters, deep and dark forests full of predatory animals, and where tensions with the Natives are growing every day. How do religion, education, strong family ties, along with hard work, an inquisitive nature, and courage help her develop into a mature woman and honor family expectations?
