| Summary Note | Summary: "In order to understand Brewster, the man, it is necessary to study the life and times within which he developed as a youth. A study of his family--father, mother, grandparents, and siblings--provides the foundation. ... the reader of this book will have a much greater sense of who Pilgrim William Brewster was, and how he developed and later influenced the Mayflower pilgrims and their church"--Caleb Johnson, rear cover.
