Product Description:
Nathaniel Philbrick became an internationally renowned author with his National Book Award– winning In the Heart of the Sea, hailed as "spellbinding" by Time magazine. In Mayflower, Philbrick casts his spell once again, giving us a fresh and extraordinarily vivid account of our most sacred national myth: the voyage of the Mayflower and the settlement of Plymouth Colony. From the Mayflower’s arduous Atlantic crossing to the eruption of King Philip’s War between colonists and natives decades later, Philbrick reveals in this electrifying history of the Pilgrims a fifty-five-year epic, at once tragic and heroic, that still resonates with us today.

I had always wanted to know more of the pilgrim story after the initial landing and first winter survival. This book not only details the voyage of these English religious ... Read More

To one who enjoys historical people and places, particularly the adventures of Early Europeans in America, Mr. Philbrick's book, Mayflower is as delicious as ice cream and chocolate. This account of the pilgrims' voyage to the east coast of the New World is incredibly rich in detail and day-by-day reports of their landing and exploration, beginning with the Puritans who had gathered in Holland working toward departure. The lives, ilnesses and death aboard the Mayflower before their arrival in the New World ... Read More

It sounds a lot like current events. A group of refugees, fleeing from their homeland in a leaking boat, arrive in America. They are initially welcomed by the local population (Native Americans in this case), overcome various adversities, and end up in conflict with the original residents as they compete for available resources. People complaining about immigrants should read some of their own history.
I bought this book to read about some of my ancestors (William Bradford, Richard Warren, John ... Read More
