Nathaniel Philbrick, Mayflower: A Story of Courage, Community and War

Wednesday, May 16, 2007 - 6:30 PM | Temple Israel

Almost every American knows the story of the small group of religious dissenters who left England for Holland destined for what would become Plymouth colony, and their varying relationship with the Wampanoag tribe who saved them from starvation. Nathaniel Philbrick calls the tale "a restorative myth of national origins," and in Mayflower he brings it new life with corrective historical details and consciousness of all sides of the story. This event is co-sponsored by WNET/Thirteen New York.
