| 520 | _a"Arms and Armor of the Pilgrims, 1620-1692" by Harold L. Peterson is a historical account published in the mid-20th century. The book explores the various types of arms and armor utilized by the Pilgrims during their early years in North America, a period marked by survival amidst unfamiliar and often hostile conditions. The focus of the book encompasses the evolution of military equipment and the practical adaptations made by the settlers in response to their environment. Peterson delves into the specifics of the Pilgrims' weaponry, dividing it into categories such as defensive armor, edged weapons, and firearms. He describes various types of helmets, breastplates, and swords used by the settlers, highlighting their construction, effectiveness, and how they were ultimately adapted or discarded as the Pilgrims learned to navigate the challenges of their new world. The book also addresses the transition from matchlock muskets to more effective flintlock arms over time, reflecting on how these changes in armament contributed to their military strategies and overall survival. Through detailed descriptions and historical context, Peterson paints a vivid picture of the Pilgrims' reliance on arms for both defense and sustenance in their early colonial life.
