An eye-opening book on the Pilgrims (with a little bit about their interaction with the Puritans) is Saints and Strangers by George Willison.

Even though I do not see eye-to-eye with all of Willison's conclusions, he has done a pretty good job of stripping away much of the mystery and legend surrounding the Pilgrims. He traces them from their beginnings in England, chronicles their stay in Holland, and does a good job of describing conditions in America.

"Saints and Strangers" is a great book if you have an interest in History and the Puritans. I read it about 30 years ago and it has stayed with me.
