Nathaniel Philbrick says: “I thought I knew about the voyage of the Mayflower, but when I started to explore what happened when an old, leaky ship arrived off the coast of New England in the fall of 1620, I soon realized that I, along with most Americans, knew nothing at all about the real people with whom the story of our country begins.”
