How did America begin? From this simple question, acclaimed author Nathaniel Philbrick sets out on an extraordinary journey to understand the truth behind one of our most sacred national myths: the voyage of the
Mayflower and the settlement of
Plymouth Colony. As Philbrick reveals in this electrifying book, the story of the Pilgrims does not end with the First Thanksgiving; instead, it is a fifty-five-year epic that is at once tragic and heroic, and still carries meaning for us today.
