In September 1620, about 130 people set sail from Plymouth, England and headed west for a new land and new religious opportunities. Known colloquially as Separatists or Strangers, the group aimed to establish a new colonial settlement in the New World, but by the end of the following winter, half of them would be dead. And though they had intended to land farther to the south, the ship was blown off course during the journey and instead took them to Plymouth Harbor in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.The men, women and children who boarded the Mayflower that year were not the first colonists in North America, but they nevertheless have become the most famous, and every American is instantly familiar with the name of their boat. These pilgrims intended to create the first permanent colonial settlement in the region, and despite the hardships they managed to do so. Their legendary story naturally included their encounters with local Native Americans, many of which were hostile despite the fact Thanksgiving is celebrated because these first pilgrims survived the first year with help from nearby natives. History for Kids: The Pilgrims and the Mayflower chronicles the amazing journey made by the pilgrims and their turbulent attempt to establish a permanent settlement. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, your kids will learn about the Mayflower like you never have before, in no time at all.
