The author recounts the story of the Mayflower and the Pilgrims who settled on this site. Using primary source accounts, and detailed analysis, the author recreates the early days of this brave group of settlers. Their strong religious beliefs, based on the idea of a personal covenant with God, are presented in detail, and the author traces the development of their ideas as they moved from England to Holland and finally to America. Many topics are examined including the foundation of their religious principles, their difficult voyage across the Atlantic, their first brutal winter in the New World, their interactions with the local Wampanoag tribe, and the development of their colony and its unique form of self-government.
