"Mayflower in Plymouth Harbor," 1882
by William Halsall, Pilgrim Hall Museum, Plymouth

Author Nathaniel Philbrick and Falmouth Public Library Director Linda Collins join listeners to discuss the true story of the Pilgrims. Why have we fictionalized much of the Pilgrim’s story? How does Philbrick encourage us to rethink those stories? What were some of the misunderstandings that drove a wedge between the natives and the Europeans?  Mindy Todd hosts the discussion.
