The most important and influential source of information about the Pilgrims and Plymouth Colony, this landmark account was written between 1630 and 1647. It vividly documents the Pilgrims' adventures: their first stop in Holland, the harrowing transatlantic crossing aboard the Mayflower, the first harsh winter in the new colony, and the help from friendly Native Americans that saved their lives.
No one was better equipped to report on the affairs of the Plymouth community than William Bradford. Revered for his patience, wisdom, and courage, Bradford was elected to the office of governor in 1621, and he continued to serve in that position for more than three decades. His memoirs of the colony remained virtually unknown until the nineteenth century. Lost during the American Revolution, they were discovered years later in London and published after a protracted legal battle. The current edition rendered into modern English and with an introduction by Harold Paget, remains among the most readable books from seventeenth-century America.

Criticism Out Of Books Of Plymouth Plantation, 1620-1647

"Thus out of small beginnings greater things have grown by His hand Who made all things out of nothing, and gives being to all things that are; and as one small candle may light a thousand, so the light enkindled here has shone to many, yea, in a sense, to our whole nation; let the glorious name of Jehovah have all the praise."William Bradford's indispensable history--which was lost during the eighteenth century and rediscovered a century later in, of all places, a London library--is as much a

This was really miserable to read, but it was full of information about the Pilgrims that isn't in any other history book.

Of all the aspects of the Pilgrim leader William Bradford that are likely to stand out to as you read Of Plymouth Plantation, the one that stands out most may be Bradfords sheer stubbornness. Bradford was a strong-willed, stubborn, even obstinate man and those characteristics may have been exactly what was needed to help the Plymouth Colony beat the odds and survive that first deadly winter in the wilds of what would one day be the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.Of Plymouth Plantation is an

It's not always the most enthralling of narratives, but it is essential primary reading for any American, any history student, or any Christian. Bradford's narrations are interesting, inspiring, and thought-provoking - though flawed, for those who believe it idealistic and white-washed, let them simply discover what happens to the lone-mentioned turkey of the tale. Any student should have this in his tool-bag of foundational critical though and understanding of the American project.

I like all things historical, so this one was interesting to me.How DO you start a settlement??Lots of detail, lots of setback, it is amazing that anyone survived it let alone wrote it all down..William Bradford was there!Written in the style and vernacular of the day (1600's)

He was inspired by the ideals of the Puritans, a Protestant religious group that wanted to purify the traditions of the Church of England. They were called Separatists because they supported the idea of a total break with the

This is a hard book to rate and review. First, if you are looking at the writing of William Bradford telling the story of the Pilgrim migration to what became New England, in the context of the times in which the events portrayed happen, this would rate five-stars easily. Through narration and correspondence, we have primary source material four hundred years later, a key document that historians still use to study and interpret the events of the Plymouth colony founding. There are, obviously,
