Signing of the Mayflower Compact on board the Mayflower in 1620.

Mayflower Compact, establishing the rule of fairness under law in Plymouth Colony, signed by almost all men on board the Mayflower.

Signatures of several Mayflower Compact signers, including William Brewster, Myles Standish, and William Bradford.

“If we can get everyone to agree it will be,” William said with a chuckle.

I patted him on the back and said, “I predict that this very agreement you’re proposing will be referred to by many English colonists who will settle in America in the years to come. In fact, it might very well be the beginning of a greater constitution for all Americans.”

“You are always thinking of the future, Rush Revere,” said William, smiling. “I like that about you. If you’ll excuse me, I have some writing to do.”

William and several other passengers climbed the stairs to the captain’s cabin.

“I love happy endings,” whispered Liberty.

“Ending?” I said. “Liberty, this is just the start. In a way, this is like Neil Armstrong landing on the moon.”

“It is?” Tommy questioned.

“Absolutely! The Pilgrims may not be the first to discover the New World but their footprint in New England will eventually lead to the making of the United States of America.”

“Wow,” Tommy said. “I never thought of it like that.”

“It’s hard for me to think about anything with an empty stomach,” said Liberty.

I grabbed a few more apples out of Liberty’s saddlebag and fed them to him. Tommy and I ate an apple as well.

When we finished Tommy asked, “Hey, do you think we could climb up and watch them sign the Mayflower Compact?”

“You took the words right out of my mouth,” I said.

“Don’t worry about me,” Liberty sighed, obviously trying to make us feel guilty for leaving him. “You’re off to watch one of the most important events in American history while the rest of us get stuck out in the cold. It reminds me of that one Christmas reindeer. . . .”

“Rudolph?” Tommy said.

“Yes! Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer. He wanted to join in the reindeer games, but the other reindeer wouldn’t let him.”

“How thoughtless of me,” I said. “You’re absolutely right. We should be filming this so I can use it as a teaching moment back in class.”

“Um, well, that’s not exactly what I . . . ,” Liberty tried to say.

I added, “And I’ll find you the biggest and juiciest carrots when we get home. Deal?” I asked.

“All right,” Liberty sighed. “I suppose nothing says I love you and I forgive you and I’ll make sure I include you the next time like a big, juicy carrot. Or a fresh head of cabbage. Or large, crisp turnips. And I’m especially fond of cauliflower. . . .”

While Liberty continued daydreaming I whispered to Tommy, “Let’s go.”

When we reached the quarterdeck to the captain’s cabin, we turned to wave at Liberty, who looked deep in thought.

We shuffled into the crowded room as many Saints and Strangers surrounded the captain’s desk, where William Bradford was sitting and composing the agreement.
