Note 37 — PART II Plymouth Reorganizes Financially

Bradford, Of Plymouth Plantation, ed. Morison, 94; idem, History, ed. Ford, I, 268n. gives £400 as total value of the cargo seized; this included some clapboards. The literary result of Morton’s ignominious departure, The New English Canaan (1637), satirizes the “saints” at Plymouth, ibid., II, 75–77. Nathaniel C. Hale, Pelts and Palisades (Richmond, Va., 1959) included a lively narrative of Plymouth’s fur trade, showing little interest in its business end and letting by a few inaccuracies. Bradford, Of Plymouth Plantation, 119, 163, 176, 178; Bradford, “Letter Book,” 36, on amounts collected; ibid., 112, 183, on boats.
