Book Reviews of Mayflower: A Story of Courage, Community, and War
Book Review: Well worth the read!
Summary: 4 Stars
This book proved a bit dry at times and following all the Native American names and places as well as all the other characters proved difficult to me, at least in reading this book casually.
However, this book changed my view of American history for the better. It is very concise and well rounded. A great introduction into a little discussed portion of American History.
Summary of Mayflower: A Story of Courage, Community, and War
Nathaniel Philbrick became an internationally renowned author with his National Book Award- winning In the Heart of the Sea, hailed as "spellbinding" by Time magazine. In Mayflower, Philbrick casts his spell once again, giving us a fresh and extraordinarily vivid account of our most sacred national myth: the voyage of the Mayflower and the settlement of Plymouth Colony. From the Mayflower's arduous Atlantic crossing to the eruption of King Philip's War between colonists and natives decades later, Philbrick reveals in this electrifying history of the Pilgrims a fifty-five-year epic, at once tragic and heroic, that still resonates with us today.General Books
