TullyFamily | Oct 31, 2008 | Written by a Separatist in the 1600's, this does not make for easy and light reading. It is illuminating and enlightening though. We have all heard the story of the Pilgrims almost as many times as the story of Christmas, but reading this helps us to see and understand events as they happened to the Pilgrims and other settlers. Some things which we have taken for granted, we find are not so. The story is long and detailed and must be read with an understanding that people had a different understanding of the world in those days. In some ways this shows the pilgrims to be better than we have heard, and in other ways, worse. It is simply their story, recorded in one man's journal.

| Book description |
|
William Bradford's "Of Plymouth Plantation" is a remarkable work by a man who himself was something of a marvel. It remains one of the most readable seventeenth-century American books, attractive to us as much for its artfulness as for its high seriousness, the work of a good storyteller with intelligence and wit. Edited, with an Introduction, by Francis Murphy.
