In November 1619 the Mayflower, with its cargo of pilgrim families,
reached the shores of Massachusetts.
Imagine You Were There... Sailing on the Mayflower celebrates this
milestone by helping readers imagine what it was like to actually be
there. Fully illustrated, the book charts the voyage of the pilgrims
from England via Holland, and chronicles their arrival in America and
the founding of the Plymouth Colony. The book includes first-hand
accounts of the voyage and early settler life, with the difficulties it
brought. It also looks at the experiences of settlers in other parts of
the world, and at some of the same issues that are relevant to
modern-day immigrants.
