1623: Pilgrims, Pipe Dreams, Politics & the Founding of New Hampshire

Shrouded in myth, mystery, and misinformation, the true story of New Hampshire’s founding family has never been fully told–until now. Why do we know so little about David and Amias Thompson of Plymouth, England? And why is what we think we know so often wrong? Barely three years after the Mayflower landed in Massachusetts, a wholly different plan for America was in play. Popular journalist J. Dennis Robinson exhumes the facts and connects the dots to reveal a forgotten journey that will challenge your perception of how New England was born.
