Pilgrims Arrive!

 

Presented by G. Thomas Ryan as part of a year long series, God of Our Fathers: The Mighty Miracles of the American Revolution. Before they arrived at Plymouth, the Pilgrims arrived in the midst of the Nauset Tribe and spent a month exploring the Outer Cape. History can describe trends over centuries and sharing the story through actual events allows all to appreciate the past through named men and women, and even their inner-soul struggles. On November 21, the events are truly local. The audience might then consider meanings for today as they come upon beaches and creeks, named streets and schools, and families who are descended from the Mayflower or Nauset – added depth for lived history.
