But for most of us, the story ends after their brutal first winter at Plymouth with a supposedly peaceful encounter with Squanto and the Native Americans. Everything concludes with a happy first thanksgiving. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut the story does not end there. The story of the Pilgrims is the story of America, and cannot be chopped off in 1621. Through the vivid memoirs, letters, and personal accounts of the Pilgrims themselves, you will discover the full, compelling story of their anguished journey and heroic strength. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAward-winning historian Rod Gragg brings the Pilgrims to life in this lavishly illustrated guide, filled with moving, eyewitness narratives.\u003cbr\u003e From their persecution in England and painful exile in Holland to their voyage across the Atlantic and their struggle to survive among the Indians in an untamed wilderness, Gragg takes you on the harrowing and inspiring journey of a people seeking religious freedom, and in the process founding a great nation.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRod Gragg\u003c\/b\u003e is a historian, journalist, and director of the CresCom Bank Center for Military \u0026amp; Veterans Studies at Coastal Carolina University, where he also serves as an adjunct professor of history.
