Life on the Mayflower was harsh. When the Pilgrims reached America, things got even worse. More than half the Pilgrims died the first winter. Luckily, the Pilgrims made friends with the Indians who lived nearby. Thanks to the Indians, the Pilgrims set up the first successful American colony at Plymouth, Massachusetts. This book recounts the fascinating story of the Pilgrims' struggle to create a new home and a new country in the wild land of America. The settlement they founded and the principles they established helped to shape the nation we live in today.
