Here is the story of the one hundred and two passengers who crossed the Atlantic aboard the Mayflower. The trip was crowded and dangerous. Trouble continued when the passengers settled in Plymouth for a bitter, cold winter. However, their determination was ultimately rewarded; the Pilgrims adjusted to New Englad thanks to help from local Native Americans and soon celebrated their first harvest in the New World. A time line lists the sequence of events and elaborates on the evolution of the Thanksgiving holiday.
As Philbrick reveals in this electrifying history of the Pilgrims, the story of Plymouth Colony was a fifty-five year epic that began in peril and ended in war.
