But the story did not end with the Pilgrims treacherous transatlantic journey or their first uncertain years All settlers had to become linguists, traders and explorers, and yet not forget their roots and customs from the old country.With the aid of new contemporary documents Rebecca Fraser brings to life the adventures of an ordinary family,the Winslows, made less ordinary by their responses to the challenges of the New World.
