$4.97
In England in the early 1600s, everyone was forced to join the Church of
England. Young William Bradford and his friends believed they had every
right to belong to whichever church they wanted. In the name of
religious freedom, they fled to Holland, then sailed to America to start
a new life. But the winter was harsh, and before a year passed, half
the settlers had died. Yet, through hard work and strong faith, a tough
group of Pilgrims did survive. Their belief in freedom of religion
became an American ideal that still lives on today.
James Daugherty draws on the Pilgrims' own journals to give a fresh and moving account of their life and traditions, their quest for religious freedom, and the founding of one of our nation's most beloved holidays—Thanksgiving.
