"The Mayflower and the Pilgrims' New World is a very well written book that I enjoyed immensely. Much of the information contained in this book I did not know and I found it exciting as well as informative. Being a born New Englander with immigrant as well as Native American blood, I am a little ashamed that I did not already know the true story of the Pilgrims and their adventures. This book is not a book that paints a flowery picture of colonial life but a harsh and sometime tragic tale. I am now bitten by the bug to know even more of the rich history of both the New World settlers and the original native peoples. Thank you Nathaniel for opening my eyes to the history in my own back yard..."
"This historical non-fiction book perfectly straddles the line between destroying myths and validating historical events that have grown larger than life. Drawn from actual sources of the time and careful to acknowledge those sources (and times when they could not support events) Philbrick builds fact on fact to create a true picture of events in early New England. So often we hear the story of the first Thanksgiving but little of what followed. I've always been curious about an ancestor who was killed by Native Americans in 1676 and now I know a lot more about the events which culminated in King Philip's War, which caused the deaths of 8% of adult males in New England in the 1670's. Compare the 1% killed in WWII or 4-5% during the Civil War for a perspective on the impact of these events on our nation's subsequent history. Though titled "Mayflower", the book covers the time of the Mayflower to the Seaflower or in other words Plymouth Colony (and surrounding areas) from 1620 to 1680 and does it very well."
"A well researched look into the actual lives of the original Pilgrims who came across on the Mayflower, and the lives of the native Americans the encountered; this book does not limit itself to that early time frame. Instead it looks at the larger ramifications of the arrival, and how the two groups learned to live, or to war, with each other. Lots of maps, engravings, and other details help paint this picture."
