List,
While we are talking about Mayflower and other historical events, I would
like to recommend a book to read, it will have your from the first page to
the last. It is called *The Heretic's Daughter* by Kathleen Kent
About the author: Kathleen Kent grew up listening to stories about her
ancestor Martha Carrier, stories that had been passed down through the
generation in her mothers family. After she became a mother herself, Kent
decided to learn more about that life that had come so long before hers, and
she spent five years researching the Salem witch trials and writing *The
Heretic's Daughter*. Trust me this is a book you just have to read.

My husband's Fuller (not Mayflower Fullers) family lived in Salem during the
time of the witch trials, thankfully none of them served as judge or jury
members or witness's  ( checked all the records I could find at the Family
History Library in Salt lake City). This book is a fictional book about
Martha Carrier, but the events are real. It is so well written that you will
be transported back in time. This book is on *my list of top ten books for
family history researchers *to read.

As for Mayflower reading this is another on my top ten list: *Mayflower: A
Story of Courage, Community, and War* by Nathaniel Philbrick . It
Authoritative and illuminating the book, helps to get rid of the cliches and
simplistic stereotypes of the people landing at Plymouth Rock.

Happy reading,
Ellen
