Once a year at Thanksgiving, we encounter Pilgrims as folksy
people in funny hats before promptly forgetting them. In the
centuries since America began, the Pilgrims have been relegated
to folklore and children’s stories, fairy-tale mascots for
holiday parties and greeting cards.

The true story of the Pilgrim Fathers could not be more
different. Beginning with the execution of two pastors deviating
from the Elizabethan Church of England, the Pilgrims’ great
journey was one of courageous faith, daring escape, and tenuous
survival. Theirs is the story of refugees who fled intense
religious persecution; of dreamers who voyaged the Atlantic and
into the unknown when all other attempts had led to near-certain
death; of survivors who struggled with newfound freedom.
Loneliness led to starvation, tension gave way to war with
natives, and suspicion broke the back of the very freedom they
endeavored to achieve.

Despite the pain and turmoil of this high stakes triumph, the
Pilgrim Fathers built the cornerstone for a nation dedicated to
faith, freedom, and thankfulness. This is the epic story of the
Pilgrims, an adventure that laid the bedrock for the Founding
Fathers, the Constitution, and the American identity.
