The murals used to illustrate this book were commissioned by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company in 1940. The paintings are gorgeous and portray the strong character of the Pilgrims against the sharp colors of a New England fall. There is one howler in the text in which it is implied that the first Thanksgiving was a party thrown to thank the Indians. No mention anywhere in the entire text of God, though there are a few vague references to religious freedom. Wyeth knew better and put the truth into his paintings. Read The Landing of the Pilgrims in order to understand their faith, but gaze at these pictures to see what their lives were like.
