History written tightly enough to be a novel is one of my favorite genres, and Philbrick certainly has the touch. I found myself facinated by the lives and foibles of the Pilgrims, and facinated by their history. Even the King Philip's War section was intriguing, although war reading it not usually for me. I read the book in November so had the Pilgrims firmly in mind as we entered the Thanksgiving season.
