The facts and the myths are brought out to the front. The commonly unknown is shown. This is an easy read of the factual, historic adventures, losses and gains with the pilgrims shown in a TIME LINE for events, an aid to avoid confusion. This is not a biography on any person but references are shown to other detailed works for that purpose. Again, this is a 'Time Line' for the pilgrims although situations and deaths are shown. Chances are if you have had any lineage in your family in the USA for a while, you are in some way related to one or more of the Mayflower Pilgrims. This is an excellent, easy read showing the horrible conditions people deliberately put themselves through for their quest to live with FREEDOM, especially the FREEDOM of religion with NO government interference in ANY way, unlike today. With what is now NOT taught in schools, here is your chance to share the past with your descendants. The facts and events are eye-opening. This is not a book showing what can be commonly found on the web concerning people. This is their time line of events with names noted if the event was specific to a person.
