Christians in the restoration movement came to America aboard the Mayflower in the early 1600s.  Still, this is an excellent primary source to understanding and tracing that portion of the restoration movement that editor Alexander Campbell influenced 200 years later. 

Articles appeal to the dissolving of denominations and coming together in Christian unity. Some articles quote founders of various denominations on baptism and other issues. Includes much on the world-wide cholera epidemic, especially in North America.

At the end is a detailed table of contents listing all articles in each issue. Also at the end are listings of reports by various congregations around the world, but mostly in the US. Listings are by city/county and state.
