The pilgrims from 400 years ago were brave, tenacious, innovative, and godly folk who took terrible risks in order to live their lives freely and without external intervention, ideals daily fought over to this day in America.
Books like The Landing of the Pilgrims from the remarkable Landmark Books series published in the 1950’s and 1960’s will enlighten and encourage readers of all ages. Without going into the wars waged against America’s first colonists, like from the New York Times 16 projects, let it suffice to say that it is possible to find positive reads on the topic. The Pilgrims have been under attack for the last many decades, and it is hard to find books that are both historically accurate and engaging on this topic. Those tired of revisionist or bland history textbooks will find James Daughtery’s The Landing of the Pilgrimsa refreshing read.
While it is currently popular to use history as a means to create tension, divide society, and break down tradition, it is more productive to focus on the positive character traits of heroes, expound on uniting principles, and encourage piety and respect toward one’s heritage.
