About the book
After a dangerous journey across the Atlantic, the Mayflower's passengers were saved from certain destruction with the help of the Natives of the Plymouth region. For fifty years a fragile peace was maintained as Pilgrims and Indians learned to work together. But when that trust was broken by the next generation of leaders, a conflict erupted that nearly wiped out Pilgrims and Natives alike. This gripping introduction to the founding of our country has been adapted from the New York Times bestseller Mayflower, and includes maps, artwork and archival photographs that help illustrate the complete story of how America began. - back cover.
