A narrative-history of the Pilgrims that contrasts their search for religious freedom with the Puritans’ quest for political liberty.
This edition presents the story of the Mayflower voyage, early struggles, and the beginnings of American democracy. It explains who the Pilgrims were, how they differed from the Puritans, and why their approach to church and state mattered in the shaping of a new nation.
Readers will meet key figures and moments as the settlers build a foothold in a new land, facing hardship with faith and perseverance. The book also separates enduring myths from historical facts to illuminate the origins of democratic ideas in early America.
Ideal for readers of American history and those curious about the roots of democracy in the New World.
