"The Pilgrim Story" by William Franklin Atwood is a historical account written in the mid-20th century. This work focuses on the journey and experiences of the Pilgrims, detailing their struggles, determination, and faith in the face of adversity as they settled in the New World. The narrative draws heavily on the accounts of notable figures such as Governors William Bradford and Edward Winslow, who played significant roles in the establishment of the Plymouth Colony. The opening of the book introduces the reader to the context of religious persecution faced by the Pilgrims in England, which propelled them to seek refuge in Holland. This migration is marked by harrowing experiences—including failed attempts to escape and the dire conditions they endured. Through Atwood's detailed compilation of historical documents and accounts, the story sets the stage for the Pilgrims’ eventual voyage on the Mayflower and their arrival at Plymouth, where they would confront new challenges and hopes for a better life. The foundation of their community, their first encounters with Native Americans, and the determination to maintain their right to worship freely are compelling themes that start to unfold in this narrative.
