Next on history bookshelf, to mark the 400th anniversary of the pilgrims arrival in massachusetts, we hear the story of mayflower detailing the settlement between the english settlers and the wampanaog indians. My name is peggy baker. Im the direct he of Pilgrim Museum and i would like to welcome you all here tonight for what is a grand occasion for all of us who love pilgrims.

As one would expect from Nate Philbrick whose distinguished career has focused on americas relationship with the sea in a string of notable books.

And narrative, because what nat does best is to tell a story. An adventure story, but in many ways an unexpected adventure story. Look at the cover. I, of course, love it because its our painting, the mayflower on her arrival in plymouth harbor. But what i really love is that even though the book is entitled the mayflower this cover doesnt put the mayflower front and center. It doesnt show a ship tosse
