Summary:
The author researched the first years of the Pilgrims at Plymouth to create a text to accompany murals painted by N.C. Wyeth. The text includes detailed descriptions, end papers from the Mayflower log, an author's note about his research, and a section about the artist.

Teaching Ideas:
The book could be used in text sets on Pilgrims, immigration, or early U.S. history. Students could discuss the contrast of the realistic details of hardship in the text with the romantic depiction of the positive events at Plymouth. Students could research the history of other holidays such as Columbus Day or the 4th of July and write about and illustrate their findings. Holidays www.worldtime.com; W.C.
