Mayflower by Nathaniel Philbrick

Engrossing history of the early years of Plymouth colony. Fascinating account of the real history behind the pilgrims, and their relations with the native Americans as well as other English colonies. Turns out there was a war fought between the settlers and the natives in the 1670s, 50 years after the founding of Plymouth colony.

Since I didn't know much about early New England history, this book very interesting to me. Now I feel like I have a basic grasp of what really happened in that era.

(Note: This post was written a long time ago and I just discovered the draft and published it... doh!)
