The Landing of the Pilgrims

Tells simply and factually the story of the the pilgrims who first came to America. Somewhat dry, but not excessively so. Daugherty uses primary sources throughout his narrative, and does not shy away from the religious perspective of the pilgrims. A good resource.

So much information in such a small book. Journal entries of William Bradford are included with the original spelling.
Spoiler alert:
I never knew how many attacks from the English the Separatists had to deal with. Attacks in the sense of them stealing from them and arson. That was part of the reason why Winslow went back to England, to fight the scheming English. But what ever became of him and what was the outcome of his pamphlet "Good News from New England"?
Captain Standish proved to be very beneficial to the new colony and good at reading trouble.
It's definitely worth reading.

In England in the early 1600s, everyone was forced to join the Church of England. Young William Bradford and his friends believed they had every right to belong to whichever church they wanted. In the name of religious freedom, they fled to Holland, then sailed to America to start a new life. But the winter was harsh, and before a year passed, half the settlers had died. Yet, through hard work and strong faith, a tough group of Pilgrims did survive. Their belief in freedom of religion became an American ideal that still lives on today.
