so-soAuthor effectively summarizes the whys & hows that led to the Separatists journeying to the New World, & describing the excruciating first year there. Many deaths & hardships. And describes the getting acquainted with the indigenous peoples there.
However, he often presents his info very tongue in cheek, and I‘m still wondering over his choice of using “savages” until they meet the Pilgrims, even though he explains his reasoning in the preface.
Ah, young Francis Billington. Ancestor of President Garfield (I did not know this) , and myself. This story of how Billington‘s Sea was “discovered “ had been recounted a few times from my dad.

Our little Thanksgiving gathering!! We missed my hubs, but had a great time hanging out together. I'm thankful that I have a good relationship with my sis-in-law!
Today I am so thankful for my awesome progressive parents, for my cute/smart/funny husband, for buttermilk biscuits and lumpy mashed potatoes and my mom's cinnamon-honey carrots, for wine and mulled cider, and for books and wonderful bookish communities like this one! (This photo is actually from last year—this year everyone was too hungry to let me take a good picture. 😄)
Happy Thanksgiving! Celebrating this day with my fiancée and my family in New Hampshire and feeling very thankful that we all share the same level of disgust and contempt for Donald Trump. I hope you all are having a nice, relaxing day. Super thankful to have discovered this awesome community. ?
I am thankful for my faithful pooches, Frenchie and Costanza. These rambunctious pups help make my house a home and love to curl up beside me when I'm reading a good (or meh) book. I know Litsy is more cat friendly, but these dogs are hypoallergenic. Happy Thanksgiving! #thankfulfor #photoadaynov16
While my family and I are saying goodbye to a wonderful and loving lady, my step-grandmother, and giving thanks for her life and love this weekend, I wish all of my Litsy family a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday filled with peace and love.
Happy Thanksgiving! May you all find time in your busy schedule to do some reading over the holiday. Best wishes to you and your families.
