Book excerpt: Excerpt from Descendants of Edward Small of New England: And the Allied Families With Tracings of English Ancestry The history interwoven in these pages is necessary to the portrayal of the lives of the men and women who came so early to the shores of New England. Many lived hard and restricted lives, according to the standards of to-day, yet they were none the less heroes and heroines. The wonder is that so many survived the privations and dangers they were called upon to endure, and that they accomplished so much. Facts and traditions have been searched for with equal zeal. Documentary evidence beyond question should be the foundation of a work of this character. But traditions some times have proved to be of inestimable value in leading to the discovery of facts that otherwise would be overlooked; frequently they have been misleading and worthless. That truth is stranger than fiction has been demonstrated time and time again. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
