Three Young Pilgrims

When Bartholemew, Remember, and Mary Allerton and their parents first step down from theMayflowerafter sixty days at sea, they never dream that life in the New World will be so hard. Many in their Plymouth colony won't make it through the winter, and the colony's first harvest is possible only with the help of two friends, Samoset and Squanto.Richly detailed paintings show how the pilgrims lived after landing at Plymouth, through the dark winter and into the busy days of spring, summer, and fall. Culminating with the excitement of the original Thanksgiving feast,Three Young Pilgrimsmakes history come alive.
