Mary’s life is set against the real background of that time.

Mary Allerton Cushman was the last surviving passenger of the Mayflower, dying at age 88 in 1699. The Plymouth Colony would not have survived without them. This book captures and celebrates the grit and struggle of the Pilgrim women who stepped off the Mayflower in the winter of 1620 to an unknown world – one filled with hardship, danger and death. I am delighted to have read The Last Pilgrim by Noelle Granger, and experience through her wonderful chronicle the tough and often perilous life of those first pilgrims to America.
