Life on the Mayflower was harsh. When the Pilgrims reached America, things got even worse. More than half the Pilgrims died the first winter.

Westward Ho!: The Story of the Pioneers (Landmark Books)

The Story of the Pioneers Lewis and Clark. Daniel Boone. Davy Crockett. These are all famous American pioneers. But not all pioneers became famous. Many were just ordinary people with extraordinary courage and a sense of adventure. They set out on foot, on horseback, or in wagon trains, bringing only what they could carry. They encountered rushing rivers, tall mountains, and wild animals. But somehow, the brave pioneers pushed on to build the American West.

How the Revolutionary War Began The American colonists were fed up with British law. They refused to buy English goods. They formed a militia of tradesmen and farmers ready to fight at a moment’s notice. Most importantly, they joined together. All 13 colonies sent representatives to decide whether they should form a new country. That group wrote the Declaration of Independence, the document that summed up a revolution.
