I am a big fan of Nathaniel Philbrick:

Historian writes as if spinning a yarn, instead of telling historical fact!

He recently published an amazing follow-up to his 2007 Pulitzer Prize winning book. . . . with charts, lists, maps, etc:

THE MAYFLOWER AND THE PILGRIMS' NEW WORLD

For genealogists & even youngsters as young as age 12

with interest in the Mayflower era of American history,

this book is a must read - and a must have in the personal library.
