I am a big fan of Nathaniel Philbrick - a historian who writes as if he's spinning a yarn, instead of telling historical fact!

In Sept. 2008, he published an amazing follow-up to his 2007 Pulitzer Prize winning book. . . . The new & improved version has charts, lists, maps, etc:

THE MAYFLOWER AND THE PILGRIMS' NEW WORLD - Presented at the reading level of age 13 and up, it is just as marvelous as his Pulitzer Prize winning 2007 book.

For family historians with interest in the Mayflower era of American history, this book is a must read - and a must have in the personal library.

What's up with my pseudonym and the avitar, "Herstory?"

As a life-long historian and genealogist, I honor and study "herstory" . . . Flora Walker . . .a pioneer of southwestern Colorado (my great grandmother) - and all those who came before us.

I'm excited about this new website and have my mallot ready - so we might break down some old brick walls and find long-lost puzzle pieces . . .together!

And here's a couple articles with quick tips/reminders we might each benefit from:
