THE MAYFLOWER PILGRIMS: SIFTING FACT FROM FABLE

Biography - Historical to 1945

By Derek Wilson

Synopsis

The voyage of the Mayflower in 1620 has come to typify those qualities that many believe represent the best of America. Yet, if they lived today, the courageous men, women and children who made that journey would not recognize themselves in the romantic retelling of their story. So, what were the motivating forces behind this momentous voyage? Derek Wilson strips away the over-painting to discover the complex range of concerns that led this group of hopeful but fallible human beings to seek a new life on the other side of the world.
