Blurb: The Founding of a Nation: The Story of the Pilgrim Fathers, Their Voyage on the Mayflower, Their Early Struggles, Hardships and Dangers, and the Beginnings of American Democracy, as Told in the Journals of Francis Beaumont, Cavalier Volume II only by Frank M. Gregg.
From Clark #100, this "is one of the few books in the historical romance genre published by the Clark Company. Francis Beaumont, a creation of the author, is the vehicle through which the story of the Mayflower and the Pilgrims is told. With care towards historical accuracy, the book is still basically a work of fiction. It is, in addition, the only Clark title published on a New England topic. This may be explained by the fact that Gregg was a close friend and business associate of Arthur H. Clark, Sr."
