Mayflower a story of courage, community and war. He details the relationship between the english settlers and the wampanaog indians. We recorded this in plymouth, massachusetts, in 2006. The year the book was published. My name is peggy baker. Im the director of Pilgrim Hall Museum and i would like to welcome you all here tonight for what is a grand occasion for all of us who love pilgrims. Because we are in essence gathered to celebrate the first wellwritten, comprehensive narrative about Plymouth Colony in over 50 years. Three key words. One, well written. As one would expect from Nathaniel Philbrick whose career has focused on americas relationship with the sea in a string of notable books, from a way offshore, to abrams eyes. Second comprehensive in covering not just the voyage or the first few years or King Phillips war, all of which have recently been done.

Second, comprehensive. In covering not just the voyage for the first few years, working philips war, all of which have recently been done, but in covering the entire story, allowing us, the readers, to enjoy the true benefits of history, which is the scope, to follow consequences of actions through generations. Narratives, because what nat does best is to tell a story. An adventure story, but in many ways, and unexpected adventure story. Look at the cover. I of course love it because it is our painting, the mayflower on her arrival in plymouth harbor.

Going to be looking at the lewis and Clark Expedition and discussing some of the ramifications of this most important expedition. Some people have classified the lewis and Clark Expedition and compared it to the odyssey of the greek tragedies, just like the civil war is sometimes seen as americas iliad, of that great epic battle. This great voyage will be quite significant and important. A few years ago, the Atlantic Monthly did a survey of the top 100 most influential figures in American History and lewis and clark make the list at 70. What i find interesting is they are the only names on the entire list where they are listed together. So, it is almost like they are inseparable. And the smithsonian did one just five years ago on the 100 most significant americans, and Meriwether Lewis and William Clark once again made the list, and sacagawea also made the made it.
