| Summary | "The Mayflower and Her Log; July 15, 1620-May 6, 1621 — Volume 3" by Azel Ames is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work presents a detailed exploration of the Mayflower's journey and the experiences of its passengers, known as the Pilgrims, as they navigate their voyage from England to America. The book focuses on various aspects of the ship's journey, the officers, and the crew, shedding light on their roles and the circumstances surrounding this pivotal moment in American history. In this volume, Ames delves deeply into the intricacies of the Mayflower's voyage, examining the character and motivations of Captain Thomas Jones and other crew members. The narrative explores controversies surrounding the ship's intended destination, originally aimed for the Hudson River area, but altered to Cape Cod due to navigational decisions. The author outlines the political dynamics at play, including convoluted relationships with various companies and individuals, such as Sir Ferdinando Gorges and Thomas Weston, ultimately leading to the Pilgrims landing in a new territory. As the story unfolds, it reveals the challenges faced by the Pilgrims both en route and upon establishing their colony, emphasizing the complex interplay of leadership, loyalty, and opportunism in the establishment of early American settlements.
