Dear Dr. Bangs, I have enjoyed the reading of upcoming new book on the Pilgrim's story and wonder if there will be more than the two chapters on the website. Very interesting and informative information. I have the Allerton and Cushman lines in our genealogy. Thank you for all you do on the historical side for the Pilgrim Story. S.
