"Vivid and remarkably fresh...Philbrick has recast the Pilgrims for the ages."--The New York Times Book Review Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in History New York Times Book Review Top Ten books of the Year With a new preface marking the 400th anniversary of the landing of the Mayflower. How did America begin? That simple question launches the acclaimed author of In the Hurricane's Eye and Valiant Ambition on an extraordinary journey to understand the truth behind our most sacred national myth: the voyage of the Mayflower and the settlement of Plymouth Colony. As Philbrick reveals in this electrifying history of the Pilgrims, the story of Plymouth Colony was a fifty-five year epic that began in peril and ended in war. New England erupted into a bloody conflict that nearly wiped out the English colonists and natives alike. These events shaped the existing communites and the country that would grow from them.
Recognized today as one of Maine's largest central communities, Waterville has grown immensely since its early beginnings. Due to its location on the west bank of the Kennebec River, which provided power for mills built between 1850 and 1950, Waterville thrived as a center for textile manufacturing and papermaking. Early industries also included lumbering, farming, and shipbuilding, and the community's location in the state made it a railroad center. In 1813, Baptists founded Colby College, considered one of the nation's most prestigious liberal arts colleges. It has transformed Waterville into a true college town focused on preserving its heritage through preservation and downtown revitalization efforts.
Most people have used the colloquialism, "What in Sam Hill?" Few, however, know of his accomplishments as an entrepreneur around the turn of the 20th century. This biographical study follows the amazing life of an Empire Builder, as he associates with finaciers and inventors, like J. P Morgan, Thomas Edison, Alexander Bell, Grover Cleveland, Henry Ford, Queen Marie of Romania, and the incomperable women in his life like Mary Hill, Loie Fuller and Mona Bell. His architecture and advanced design of such stuctures as Maryhill Museum, and his own commemorative Stonehenge, near Portland, Oregon, the Great Northern Railroad, the Hill Mansion in Seattle, the Peace Arch on the border of Washington and Canada and hard surface roads on the west coast, are just a few. The ironic subjects of this book, of course, are his connections with important people around the world, his influence after WWI, the discovery of the remains of the Pilgrim ship, Mayflower, in Jordons, England, his lagitimate and illigitimate children, and finally, fifty-five years later, the discovery of an original Rembrandt portrait, dated 1634, in a forgotten storage facility in Portland, Oregon. (estimated value 50-80 million dollars) If one would read this novel, only to find out, "what happened to the Mayflower," it will be well worth one's effort. The Mayflower story has long been forgotten since 1918, and needs rejuvenation for all, in the 21st century. This novel is filled with facts and researched scenarios. Some love scenes have been embellished by the author and reading is not recommended for children.

In the first book he has both written and illustrated, master artist P.J. Lynch brings a Mayflower voyager’s story to vivid life. At a young age, John Howland learned what it meant to take advantage of an opportunity. Leaving the docks of London on the Mayflower as an indentured servant to Pilgrim John Carver, John Howland little knew that he was embarking on the adventure of a lifetime. By his great good fortune, John survived falling overboard on the crossing of the Atlantic Ocean, and he earned his keep ashore by helping to scout a safe harbor and landing site for his bedraggled and ill shipmates. Would his luck continue to hold amid the dangers and adversity of the Pilgrims’ lives in New England? John Howland’s tale is masterfully told in his own voice, bringing an immediacy and young perspective to the oft-told Pilgrims’ story. P.J. Lynch captures this pivotal moment in American history in precise and exquisite detail, from the light on the froth of a breaking wave to the questioning voice of a teen in a new world.
