In honor of the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower's landing at Plymouth in 1620, a new edition of William Bradford's Of Plymouth Plantation -- a first person narrative account of the pilgrims' adventures, challenges, and triumphs during their early years in America. This edition is derived from the 1890 abridged version published by Effingham, Maynard & Co., which has been further lightly edited to make it more accessible to students and the modern reader. This edition also includes a brief account of the life of William Bradford from that edition.

William Bradford (1590 – 1657) originally hailed from Yorkshire in northern England, before moving to Leiden in Holland in order to escape religious persecution by King James I of England for his Puritan separatist beliefs. He emigrated to the Plymouth Colony on the Mayflower in 1620. A signatory to the Mayflower Compact, Bradford served as Governor of the Plymouth Colony intermittently for about 30 years between 1621 and 1657. His journal -- later published under the title Of Plymouth Plantation -- was written over a period of years, covering the period of 1620 to 1646. It is regarded as the most authoritative account of the Pilgrims and the early years of the Plymouth colony, including their early encounters with Samoset, Squanto, and the indigenous peoples of the region. Of Plymouth Plantation is a touchstone original source work of early American history and an essential addition to the library of any student of America.

Governor Bradford is my 13th generation grandfather and it was so great and enlightening to read his words from 1620. I will be able to pass this book with his words on to my grandchildren.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book but beware of spelling and grammar errors.
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2021

Only giving 4 stars because this version has some editing errors. Several spelling and grammar errors just in the introduction alone. Haven’t gotten far in to see how many more but having my child read this for our history lessons and it’s frustrating to have to pre read and correct errors so they can read it and be able to understand what is being said.
Other than that it is a great book to use to understand the times and history of the pilgrims.

4.0 out of 5 stars Follows history.

Although this telling of the history of Plymouth follows historical reports rather than what was strictly taught in school, I was disappointed that it didn't cover more of the actual individual's stories that made the journey and settled. That wasn't promised, I was just hopeful. LOL
