Product Description
Gathered during Plymouth Colony's crucial first decade, Bradford's Letter Book served as a sourcebook for the Governor's well-known history, "Of Plymouth Plantation." This intriguing set of letters and documents offers us valuable first-hand acquaintance with the leadership of New England's first plantation. From this collection, we can better appreciate the complex reality that lies behind our idealized image of "the Pilgrim Fathers." Here we can see the conflicting motives and internal struggles, the misunderstandings and misrepresentations, and the practical considerations which combined to shape the lives of the early Plymouth colonists.
Customer Reviews
Since he is in my line and he came over on the Mayflower it is extremely interesting. My direct line off the boat is William White. My mother started all this before she passed 3 years ago. As I read more and more about William White I don't know if she has the correct one. I guess there is one from Leiden and one from London. How do you split them up? Do you know a good book or any authority on this line? That means that our William was not married to Susannah Fuller. Any help out there?
