A fresh and revealing history of one of the most seminal events in American history as seen through fourteen diverse and dynamic figures.Martyn Whittock examines the lives of the saints (members of the Separatist puritan congregations) and strangers (economic migrants) on the original ship. Collectively, these people would become known to history as the Pilgrims.The story of the Pilgrims has taken on a life of its own as one of our founding national mythstheir escape from religious persecution, the dangerous transatlantic journey, that brutal first winter. Throughout the narrative, we meet characters already familiar to us through Thanksgiving folkloreCaptain Jones, Myles Standish, and Tisquantum (Squanto)as well as new ones.There is Mary Chilton, the first woman to set foot on shore, and asylum seeker William Bradford. We meet fur trapper John Howland and little Mary More, who was brought as an indentured servant. Then there is Stephen Hopkins, who had already survived one shipwreck and was the only Mayflowerpassenger with any prior American experience. Decidedly unpuritanical, he kept a tavern and was frequently chastised for allowing drinking on Sundays.Epic and intimate, Mayflower Lives is a rich and rewarding book that promises to enthrall readers of early American history.
