Introduction

Mayflower is Nathaniel Philbrick’s acclaimed account of the 1620 voyage of the Pilgrims and the complex, often turbulent early years of settlement in New England. Blending narrative history with meticulous research, Philbrick retraces the journey across the Atlantic, the settlers’ fragile first winter, their alliances and conflicts with Indigenous nations, and the rise of tensions that culminated in King Philip’s War. The Folio Society edition presents the work in a beautifully produced format, enriched with detailed visual material that brings the historical landscape vividly to life.
