Description
"Bradford's History of 'Plimoth Plantation'" by William Bradford is a journal written between 1630 and 1651. It chronicles the Pilgrims' journey from their 1608 settlement in the Dutch Republic through their 1620 Mayflower voyage to the founding and early decades of Plymouth Colony until 1647. Regarded as the most authoritative account of the Pilgrims, this vivid firsthand narrative disappeared during the Revolutionary War, only to resurface decades later in London and return to Massachusetts in 1897 amid international dispute.
