With a new preface marking the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the Mayflower in 1620
How did America begin? That simple question launches the acclaimed author of In the Hurricane's Eye and In the Heart of the Sea 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 communities and the country that would grow from them.
