Then, there were the pleasant, happy things: the first Thanksgiving, the Pilgrims' friendships with the Indians, and the birth of Peregrine White, the first white baby to be born in New England.Īcross the pages move many of Plymouth's people: Captain Miles Standish, called a "little runt" by an Indian who soon regretted his words jolly Mrs. At first, they suffered many discouragements and troubles, but gay and comical things often happened too, and the Pilgrims were well able to enjoy fun and a good joke. Here are real people having real adventures. James Daugherty's story and pictures carry a genuine feeling of life in the Plymouth colony. The adventures that befell Will and the Pilgrims on their journey across the stormy Atlantic, when they landed at Provincetown, and in the early days of their settlement at Plymouth, are told in this fine book.
When he grew up, Will became one of the Pilgrims and was their leading member for many years.
He was brave, too, and when a boy has a brave heart and a love of excitement, adventure seldom passes him by. Those in Grades 5 to 9 will find it of compelling interest from beginning to end. Most boys and girls in Grade 6 can read this book themselves.
