Journalist and historian Nick Bunker discusses his book "Making Haste from Babylon: The Mayflower Pilgrims and Their World; A New History," presented by Harvard Book Store. After a fearful voyage across the Atlantic, the Pilgrims built a thriving settlement at New Plymouth, based on beaver fur, corn, and cattle. In doing so, they laid the foundations for Massachusetts, New England, and a new nation.
