It's the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower! Maybe you learned about Plymouth and the Mayflower back in grade school but, if you're like me, haven't really thought about it much since.

This episode is a great refresher on the story of the Pilgrims at Plymouth in 1620. But, more importantly, it's also a deep dive to understand the whole story that they didn't tell you in grade school.

To get a sense of real life for the pilgrims at Plymouth and to set the colony properly within global history, I'm joined by Carla Gardina Pestana. Carla is the author of the book, The World of Plymouth Plantation.

Tune in to learn…

-Why the pilgrims left England,

-Why the Mayflower Compact was created out of desperation,

-About the first Native American interactions (& peace treaty),

-Who Squanto really was,

-What the Pilgrims actually wore,

-If the Pilgrims ate turkey for Thanksgiving,

-& so much more!
