They Came For Freedom: The Forgotten, Epic Adventure Of The Pilgrims

Over the centuries the Pilgrims have been relegated to folklore and children's stories. Their true story began with the execution of two pastors deviating from the Elizabethan Church of England, sending the Pilgrims on a great journey of courageous faith, daring escape, and tenuous survival. Milbrandt shows that theirs is the story of refugees who fled intense religious persecution; of survivors who struggled with newfound freedom. Despite the loneliness, tension and suspicion they had to overcome, the Pilgrim Fathers built the cornerstone for a nation dedicated to faith, freedom, and thankfulness-- and laid the bedrock for the Founding Fathers, the Constitution, and the American identity.
