This is the true story of Governor William Bradford, with all his faith, fears, and frailties, but retold in modern language so readers may hear his story the way he might tell it today over a hot cup of tea at your kitchen table.
This fresh retelling of the Pilgrim\'s true story concludes with their first full year in the New World, thereby encompassing all the events that fascinate us most: from their persecutions in England, to their dangerous ocean voyage, their first encounters with Native Americans, their struggle against sickness and starvation, culminating with their now famous celebration that we call the "First Thanksgiving." In this book you will find neither patriotic hero-worship, nor politically correct revisionism. * Adherence to the content, convictions, and chronology of Bradford\'s journal. * Archaic language paraphrased into a clear, dramatic first-person account. * The list of Mayflower Passengers grouped into families. * Obscure historical references clarified within the text as part of the story. * Maps and illustrations unique to this book. * Chapter questions for study, discussion, and reflection.
