"For the first time the printed text of Bradford's history has been compared word for word with the original manuscript; for the first time the difficult abbreviations and contractions used by Bradford have been filled out and his archaic and variant spellings made uniform. This edition has a double value: it presents Governor Bradford's text in readable form and it provides contemporary readers with a history of that text and its enduring significance by the historian clearly elect to interpret it"--Inside cover.

Read William Bradford's first hand account of the Pilgrims. Nothing beats reading the source documents to find out what really happened in history. This is a challenging read and some years at Thanksgiving we just read excerpts from it. Available for free in e-book format. Read full review
