For historians which like a good story with enough factual information to leave any doubt of the validity of the info there in, you will be enthralled as was I. This is an in-depth look by Nathaniel Phillbrick at the founding of Plymouth Colony, how these English religious zealots survived those early years. It also tells the story of how the Indians of this area help these colonist, and are wiped out with disease and war. The author says over 30 million Americans now claim DNA relationship to the passengers of the Mayflower. I liked the book and have recommended it to friends as I am now doing to you. If you think it suits your literary palate, you might try it.
