Mayflower:A Story of Courage, Community and War
Engaging, highly readable account of the 1620 voyage of the Mayflower and trials of the first settlers in an oft frightening, life threatening new world. Nathaniel Philbrick (2007 – 480pp)
Great book. Very detailed. I read it years ago and still remember much of what I read.
