The startling story of the Plymouth Colony--from the flight to religious freedom to the war that ravaged New England--is told by the bestselling author of "In the Heart of the Sea, " winner of the National Book Award. Nathaniel Philbrick (born June 11, 1956) is an American author of history, winner of the National Book Award, and finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. His maritime history, In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex, which tells the true story that inspired Melville's Moby-Dick, won the 2000 National Book Award for Nonfiction and was adapted as a film in 2015. After graduate school, Philbrick worked for four years as an editor at Sailing World magazine. He then worked as a freelancer for a number of years, during which time he was the primary caregiver for his two children while writing and editing several books about sailing, including The Passionate Sailor, Second Wind, and Yaahting: A Parody. In 1986, Philbrick moved to Nantucket with his wife Melissa and their two children. In 1994, he published his first book about the island's history, Away Off Shore, followed in 1998 by a study of the Nantucket's native legacy, Abram's Eyes. He is the founding director of Nantucket's Egan Maritime Institute and is a research fellow at the Nantucket Historical Association. Mayflower: A Story of Courage, Community, and War tells the events of the Mayflower colonists' landing in North America, and their relations over the following decades with the indigenous Wampanoag people, culminating in the bloody King Philip's War of 1675-78. Mayflower is divided into four sections. Part I of Mayflower, "Discovery," describes the history of the Pilgrim Fathers before their Atlantic crossing, their difficult voyage, and even more challenging first winter in North America, for which the settlers were poorly prepared. The Pilgrims seek aid from the indigenous Wampanoag people, who like many indigenous groups along North America's east coast had recently been devastated by their first exposure to European disease. The section culminates with the First Thanksgiving in 1622, in which Pilgrims and some Wampanoag joined together to celebrate the Pilgrims' first successful harvest. Part II, "Accommodation," tells of the Puritans' and Wampanoags' attempts to live together in peace, and Part III, "Community," describes the temporary success of these efforts despite the attempts of Narragansett satchem Miantonomi to unite the indigenous groups to expel the new settlers. Part IV, "War," describes the collapse of relations between the settlers and indigenous peoples that culminated in the bloodshed of King Philip's War (1675-78). This conflict decimated the Puritan settlements, and many towns were burnt down and destroyed, but the cost for the indigenous peoples was the death of 60-80% of their population through battle, disease, and famine. With the "buffer" of friendly indigenous peoples removed, all of New England was destabilized by a century of Indian Wars. A final chapter of the section, "Conscience," attempts to examine the conflict from an ethical perspective and grapple with its legacy for United States history. The New York Times named Mayflower one of the ten best books of 2006, and it also appeared on the best books lists of The Washington Post, Newsweek, Publishers Weekly, The Boston Globe, and The Chicago Tribune, among others. In 2007, it was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for History. Jeffrey L. Ward (Maps) and Ellen Warner (Author ph (illustrator).…
