What is The Mayflower about?

What really happened when the Mayflower crossed the Atlantic in 1620? Kate Messner investigates the voyage, the passengers and the Wampanoag people they encountered, challenging familiar stories about the Pilgrims, Plymouth Rock and the first Thanksgiving. Discover why the Speedwell turned back, how the settlers built their colony, and how historical accounts have often overlooked Indigenous voices. Packed with illustrations, photographs, primary sources and surprising details, this lively book separates fact from legend and offers a fuller picture of the past.
