This book is so much more helpful, comprehensive, and eye-opening than any story that any one side presents: whether it’s the cute little Thanksgiving w a linen-clothed table or the blood-thirsty English that cooly murder all the Native Americans.
No, the story of the Pilgrims and Indians is far more complex, far more honoring, far more exciting, and far more understandable from both sides than what we hear.

This book is different than I expected, but still so good, especially at this time of year. There has been more about the 50-60 years after Plymouth was established than I anticipated. However, a very balanced and honest-voiced book showing the horrors of war, the depravity of all men (English or Native alike), the beauties of loving your neighbor, and the damning path that unchecked fear inevitably leads you down.

Understanding history makes everything else so much richer; for the Christian, it makes spiritual metaphors & walk wChrist even deeper—who knew that boats are equipped to sit like ducks in raging seas?!? so many implications for life and suffering here. “knew tranquility in great gales” (32).
Always important to distinguish Puritan from Pilgrim—Philbrick does a great job here.
