Book Review of Mayflower: A Story of Courage, Community, and War

Mayflower: A Story of Courage, Community, and War


Wow - what an enlightening book. Though I knew the sanitized version of the voyage of the Mayflower, the pilgrims and puritans in New England and the alleged landing at Plymouth Rock was no doubt extremely whitewashed, I had no idea to what extent.
Though I occasionally bogged down in the details, I was more often fascinated by all that I learned. It was very well written and at least gets a partial view of the native american versions of what really occured. Now I am order "In the Heart of the Sea" by the same author, and have very high expectations of loving it too!
