Saints & Strangers

Saints & Strangers reveals the struggles and tribulations of the 102 men, women, and children who went on a hired ship for a country they had never seen.

The merchant adventurers, often known as strangers, were less spiritual and more materialistic in their goals.

Conflicting allegiances among various communities resulted in assimilation, faith, and compromise trials that continue to characterize our country today.
