The English settlement at Plymouth has usually been seen in isolation. The 400th anniversary of the Mayflower’s arrival in 1620 and the events of our recent past have prompted a fresh look. In the past, the colonists gained our attention in part because we envisioned them arriving on a desolate, frozen shore, far from assistance and forced to endure a deadly first winter alone. Yet Plymouth has been, from its first year, integrated with the world around it. Going beyond the tales we learned from schoolbooks, Carla Gardina Pestana offers a new and illuminating account of life in Plymouth Plantation.


Carla Gardina Pestana is Professor of History and Joyce Appleby Endowed Chair of America in the World at the University of California, Los Angeles. A Guggenheim Fellow, she is the author of The English Conquest of Jamaica: Oliver Cromwell’s Bid for Empire and The English Atlantic in an Age of Revolution, 1640–1661.
