The World of Plymouth Plantation

"The World of Plymouth Plantation" by Carla Gardina Pestana offers a fresh perspective on the early English settlement at Plymouth, revealing how the colony was interconnected with a broader network of trade, people, and history from its first year. Moving beyond common narratives, the book highlights the diverse interactions between the colonists and various groups, including the Wampanoag and maritime communities, while sharing vivid stories that bring the early North American experience to life. Celebrating the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower landing, it situates Plymouth within a larger global context, enriching our understanding of its history.
