William Bradford served as governor of Plymouth Colony for three decades and wrote its history from the inside, making this one of the most important primary documents in American colonial history. His plain, earnest prose records the Pilgrims’ voyage aboard the Mayflower, the founding of Plymouth, and the early years of English settlement in New England during the 1620s and beyond.
This edition is drawn from the original manuscript, which was lost for generations and eventually returned to Massachusetts. Essential reading for anyone interested in the origins of the United States, Bradford’s account is both a historical record and a personal testament to faith and perseverance.
