The Pilgrims' First Winter
Conclusion
of our series on The Pilgrims Settle Plymouth.
The Mayflower Compact having been concluded, the Pilgrims construct
their rude settlement and attempt to survive the winter of 1620-1621. The weather was mild for Massachusetts but severe compared to Holland .
The Pilgrims had been weakened by the privations of their voyage and by

December!
While not
so much in fashion now, their values formed a huge part of the beginning of American
civilization.
