This book is wonderful. It is listed as a children's book, but I believe it is a valuable asset to any student of Plymouth, the Pilgrims and the founding of our country. The pen and ink artwork is beautiful. She includes great maps and a timeline that runs throughout the book. Her bibliography is impressive, and I would highly recommend this book.

The Adventurous Life of Myles Standish and the Amazing-but-True Survival Story of Plymouth Colony by Cheryl Harness is well worth it. My wife and I purchased this book for our children to use for homeschooling. We wanted a volume that would incorporate original sources and uplifting commentary and anecdotes about the Plymouth Colony. This book did both. We have read many of Cheryl Harness' other books on great American leaders and statesmen. This one is part of a series she made for middle-school readers, but our younger children enjoyed having it read to them. It has nice illustrations and a good time line running throughout the book. We highly recommend this book to all who want something inspirational to help teach about this important part of American history.
