The governor of Plymouth Colony tells how a congregation fled persecution in England, settled in Holland, crossed on the Mayflower and landed at Cape Cod, then struggled through hunger, sickness, debts to the London adventurers and dealings with their Native neighbours up to 1650. Harold Paget’s rendering turns Bradford’s seventeenth-century English into plain modern prose.

Better known as Of Plymouth Plantation, it is the founding narrative of New England, here made easy to read. Download the free EPUB.
