History , Nonfiction (Adult)

I am reviewing a copy of They Came For Freedom and Thomas Nelson and Netgalley:

They came because of religious persecution, and economic oppression to what they saw as an untamed land.

In a short period of time many of those who came on the Mayflower succumbed to starvation and sickness.

The story of the Pilgrims is not what we have learned though, it begins with the execution of two pastors who dared to deviate from the Elizabethan Church of England, the Pilgrims story is one of courageous faith and tenuous survival. It is a story of refugees and dreamers who voyaged to the unknown and faced disease, starvation and death.

The Pilgrim Fathers were brave and despite great loss, they build the cornerstone for our nation.

I give They Came For Freedom five out of five stars!

Happy Reading
