This title by Judith Lloyd Yero completes National Geographic’s popular American Documents series. On November 10, 1620, after 66 days at sea crammed into a space about the size of a basketball court, 101 Pilgrims arrived on America’s shores. To survive in the wilderness of this strange, new land, they would need new rules and so wrote a document known as the Mayflower Compact, which laid the groundwork for American democracy in fewer than 200 words. Hardcover, 40 pages.
