Pilgrims and Puritans: 1620-1676

Drama of American History

De: James Lincoln Collier, Christopher Collier

Narrado por: Jim Manchester

In Pilgrims and Puritans, the authors begin in the year 1620 in England and end in New England in the year 1676. The book recounts the religious, political, and social history of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and its influence on our lives today. The narrative follows various groups of settlers from their departure from England through arrival in the New World and their often violent conflicts with the native peoples of the Americas. The authors examine a number of issues that arose in the new society that was founded and the rise and fall of the "city on a hill."

History is dramatic - and the renowned, award-winning authors Christopher Collier and James Lincoln Collier demonstrate this in the compelling Drama of American History series aimed at young readers. Covering American history from the founding of Jamestown through present day, these volumes explore far beyond the dates and events of a historical chronicle to present a moving illumination of the ideas, opinions, attitudes, and tribulations that led to the birth of this great nation.

excellent brief history must read for everyone.

I really enjoyed this book excellent history lesson gives you much to think about in our current cultural climate

A Great Overview

This overview gives great insight for the period helping with a good understanding of more detailed events! This book is for everyone…not just kids.

very well written!

reading these series helps me understand our country more intimately and I so appreciate it!

Honest and equal

An honest and equal recording of the Pilgrims and Puritans and the dealings with the Indians. A fair view of history.

Great for secondary students

This whole series of historical summaries of the American experience would make an excellent teaching tool for any social studies or civics class.

Good educational material

Good for orthodox school education, start reading material, conforming to generally accepted teaching with some propaganda flavor

Very educational

Very educational. Interesting to learn more about those who first traveled to America. Would recommend

Very informative… but not what I expected.

The subject matter is presented clearly and impartially. It’s a quick, but informative, history of the Puritans’ settlement of New England regions and their alliances/conflicts with Native Americans.

My personal expectation was a run-down of Puritan lifestyle at the time. Daily routines, etc.

The final chapter addresses the English settlers’ transition from religion-based establishment to land-based ambition. That was very interesting and more of what I was looking for.

I definitely recommend this audiobook. I will look for their other audiobooks on early American history.

Good history lesson!

We listened while on a road trip and enjoyed the narration along with the wealth of information provided in this book.

broad perspective

useful as relates to today ...traditions we may take for granted, traceable and fascinating, history more dynamic than fiction
