William Brewster was an important official who helped organize passage aboard the Mayflower, an English ship which took a group of migrating families to Massachusetts.

This biography begins long before the Mayflower's famous voyage of 1620. We are treated to a deep examination of politics and religion in Elizabethan England, which shaped the actions which Brewster later took. His education in Cambridge, and early experience in the ambassadorial and diplomatic service, would prove invaluable to his later efforts in promoting the establishment of the Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts. Much of the groundwork took place in Holland, where Brewster worked as a teacher, meeting a number of likeminded Puritans who aspired to a new life in North America.
