The Boy Who Fell Off the Mayflower, or John Howland’s Good Fortune

At a younger age, John Howland realized what it meant to benefit from a chance. Leaving the docks of London on the 
Mayflower as an indentured servant to Pilgrim John Carver, John Howland little knew that he was embarking on the journey of a lifetime. By his nice success, John survived falling overboard on the crossing of the Atlantic Ocean, and he earned his hold ashore by serving to to scout a secure harbor and touchdown website for his bedraggled and sick shipmates. Would his luck proceed to carry amid the risks and adversity of the Pilgrims’ lives in New England? John Howland’s story is masterfully instructed in his personal voice, bringing an immediacy and younger perspective to the oft-told Pilgrims’ story. P.J. Lynch captures this pivotal second in American historical past in exact and beautiful element, from the sunshine on the froth of a breaking wave to the questioning voice of a teen in a brand new world.
