November 6, 1620. After 65 grueling days at sea, the 102 passengers aboard the Mayflower finally sight land. Stormy weeks in the North Atlantic, illnesses, hunger, and fears of death lie behind them. The goal of the English emigrants is within reach: America. Their faith in God and the assistance of the Native Americans enable them to withstand the harsh weather conditions and establish the first successful colony in the New World. Over 150 years later, on July 4, 1776, these and other colonies declare their independence from their mother country. What drove the Pilgrims to America? What was life like in the colonies—and how did they coexist with the Native Americans? What exactly happened during the Boston Tea Party? And what ultimately triggered the American Revolutionary War? This audiobook tells the story of the birth of a nation in an exciting and vivid way.
