Learn the difference between myth and reality in this well-documented book about the Mayflower journey. Did you know, for instance, that not everyone on board was fleeing their homeland for religious reasons? Or that they didn't call themselves Pilgrims? In fact, the passengers who endured a stormy voyage to a new land were not very unified in purpose or goals.
 
Here's a look at what the voyage must have been like, and how this group of brave sojourners maintained their sanity and passed the time during that long, arduous voyage. Clear, crisp color photos bring the adventure to life.
 
"It was dark, rainy, and cold out on the open Atlantic, and the ship pitched and rolled." So begins a lively new account of this life-changing adventure that would change the course of history.
