Tecla Emerson

Follow the trials and travails of John and many of America's early settlers as they cross the ocean in a rickety and barely seaworthy ship - The Mayflower. These separatists and saints, or Pilgrims as they were later called, struggled to create a new life in a strange and sometimes hostile land. Only half would make it through that first devastating New England winter. But more than a handful did survive.
This is their story. Thee story of the beginnings of the new settlement of Plimouth as told through the eyes of an unwillingtraveler, John, age 16. His only goal - to return to the land of his birth, and then he lost his way.
