History Lessons

I just started reading Mayflower, by Nathaniel Philbrick. He is the author of In the Heart of the Sea, a great book. I hope this one is as good as that. This book focuses on the story of the Pilgrims and the King Philip’s War of 1675; a story rarely talked about. After all, it doesn’t square very well with our school book mythology of the poor Pilgrims.
