The most important and influential source of information about the Pilgrims and Plymouth Colony, this landmark account was written between 1630 and 1647. It vividly documents the Pilgrims' adventures: their first stop in Holland, the harrowing transatlantic crossing aboard the Mayflower, the first harsh winter in the new colony, and the help from friendly Native Americans that saved their lives.
No one was better equipped to report on the affairs of the Plymouth community than William Bradford. Revered for his patience, wisdom, and courage, Bradford was elected to the office of governor in 1621, and he continued to serve in that position for more than three decades. His memoirs of the colony remained virtually unknown until the 19th century. Lost during the American Revolution, they were discovered years later in London and published after a protracted legal battle.
The current edition rendered into modern English and with an introduction by Harold Paget, remains among the most enjoyable books from 17th-century America.

Wonderful book!

The reading is what you’d expect from a historical diary. The reader’s voice was smooth and easy to listen to. The letters back and forth to England were actually quite funny. They had the same business dealings back then as now, with the same insults and threats. Some things never change.
This is as accurate as an account as you will get of the Mayflower journey and settlement into New England. No agenda, no re-creation. Just real history. This should be required reading in US public schools. And highly recommended for the rest of us.

passed down in the family, some of which were listed here.
Hearing the story in Bradford’s words adds so much insight. The author has done a masterful job of translation to modern English…have read lots of primary documents & must admit, hearing it in modern English (without losing the cadence & flavor of the time) is a lot more engaging to my ear in 2023. What surprised me was the heavy emphasis on economics & their immensely greedy financial backers in England. Also how many bad eggs brought the colony close to failing.
Much more, but so happy I gave this a listen. Very surprised I found it hard to put down. Primary sources & context are the best way to understand history, & Bradford’s story gives you both.
I recommend Sarah Vowel’s ‘The Wordy Shipmates’, about Winthrop’s Mass Bay Colony & the tragic Pequod Wars (pretty much wiping the tribe out), told in her signature pithily humorous style, as a different perspective on many of these events.

loved that most if this book is first hand letters of those people directly involved with the colony and its affairs. I am so glad someone thought to keep a hold if these letters and preserved them. they are a treasure and truly amazing American History.
great book...read it now!
