How do we know about the people who journeyed on the Mayflower? Why did they cross the Atlantic, and what happened to them? This book shows how we know about the travelers and their ship from primary and other sources. It includes information on some historical detective work that has taken place, using documentary and archaeological evidence, that has enabled historians to piece together the fascinating story of the Mayflower.
"Beginning with a harrowing scene of a passenger hanging on to the Mayflower during a storm, this title in the Primary Source Detectives series explains how surviving documents provide clues to this scene and many others. . . .Packed with maps, period art, and more, this is a valuable look at early American history." - Booklist

Maps, charts, and large illustrations and photos add interest, while sidebars introduce important figures, excerpt documents, or pose critical thinking questions. . . .Similar topics have received wide extant coverage, but these titles provide enough material and research guidance to be good supplementary report choices." - School Library Journal
