"Vivid and remarkably fresh...Philbrick has recast the Pilgrims for the ages."-- The New York Times Book Review Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in History New York Times Book Review Top Ten books of the Year How did America begin? That simple question launches the acclaimed author of In the Hurricane's Eye and Valiant Ambition on an extraordinary journey to understand the truth behind our most sacred national myth: the voyage of the Mayflower and the settlement of Plymouth Colony. 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. New England erupted into a bloody conflict that nearly wiped out the English colonists and natives alike. These events shaped the existing communites and the country that would grow from them.

I loved Philbrick's In the Heart of the Sea, and read a lot of history titles. This one is nearly as captivating as In the Heart of the Sea. I couldn't put it down.
Though I taught U.S. History and government in high school for 10 years (many years ago) ... this opened new insights for me on the complexity of the pilgrim, Mayflower, Puritan, New England, New England Native American stories and founding myths. Wow!
I highly recommend this book. Worth the 380 pages. Taken from letters, military records, memoirs, archeological evidence, etc.
I hope it's available in every high school library and history teacher's shelves!
