The arrival of the Pilgrims in the New World is chronicled in this dramatic reenactment of their daily activities during those first trying years in the colony they called Plimoth.
“Sewall’s book not only conveys the spirit and conviction of the Pilgrim experience, but also provides a bounty of historical information and domestic detail about the settlement at Plimoth and the people who survived those arduous first seasons in America…By adhering to traditional language and vocabulary…Sewall has captured the dignity of the Pilgrim voice, and lends a quiet, steady rhythm and intensity to the text…Sewall’s book is educational in the best sense: it is eloquent, evocative, factual, and lovely to behold.”
