From the early 1600s. First impression, these men, women and children left magnificent Europe - with it's grand cathedrals, it's comfortable inns, and convenient roads and shops, for what? A harsh land of nothing but massive trees, savage winters, and neighbors who lived in the stone age. The pilgrims left behind their rich European heritage, to permanently live in a land with no history. Bet they felt disconnected. Couldn't help but feel sorry for them.
