About
"The Pilgrims of New England" by Mrs. J. B. Webb is a historical account likely written during the late 19th century that delves into the lives and struggles of the early Puritan settlers in New England.

It centers around historical figures and events, particularly focusing on the experiences of families, such as the Maitland family, as they navigate the challenges of establishing a new life in a foreign land.
