History of Plymouth Plantation, 1620-1647, Vol. 1 of 2 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from History of Plymouth Plantation, 1620-1647, Vol. 1 of 2The Pilgrim Fathers at first established themselves at Plymouth as a matter Of necessity. Later, they with deliberation chose to remain in a place which was soon overshadowed and absorbed by a colony occupying a site in every respect more advantageous. For nearly ten years, however, the planters at New Plymouth remained the only English settlers north Of Chesapeake Bay, a few scattered fishing and trading establishments alone excepted. Prior to 1630 the history Of New Plymouth was the history Of New England. The earlier settlements were Sporadic in character, and unim portant so far as the subsequent settlement was concerned, exercising no appreciable inﬂuence Upon it. Their story has been told in all necessary de tail. With the coming Of the Endecott party the importance Of the neigh boring plantation declined, and as Massachusetts Bay increased in numbers and inﬂuence, New Plymouth lost authority, and with the confederation Of 1643 threw its lot in with the more powerful bodies. As an historical factor it practically ceased to exist.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

“Bradford’s history is a story of a simple people inspired by an ardent faith to a dauntless courage in danger, a resourcefulness in dealing with new problems, an impregnable fortitude in adversity that exalts and heartens one in an age of uncertainty, when courage falters and faith grows dim. It is this story, told by a great human being, that has made the Pilgrim Fathers in a sense the spiritual ancestors of all Americans, all pioneers.” Thus Samuel Eliot Morison, the pre-eminent American historian in this field, in his Preface to this great American classic. 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 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.
