Of Plymouth Plantation is a journal written by William Bradford, leader of the Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts, between 1630 and 1651. Bradford’s journal is regarded as the most authoritative account of the Pilgrims and the early years of the colony which they founded. It gives an account of the Pilgrims from 1608 when they settled in the Dutch Republic through the 1620 Mayflower voyage to North America, until the year 1647. Bradford did not write with publication in mind, so his entries are candid and colorful.

Publisher's Summary
Virginia, 1781: The revolution followed him home.
Maimed in battle, Nathaniel Wooster wants to recuperate and try to rebuild his life. Returning home to his mother's cottage in the quiet port community of York Town seems like a good place to find some peace and quiet. He's slowly finding his way in a life forever changed, when the British arrive in force, and he has to draw on everything in him just to keep himself and those he cares about alive.
The Siege is the Virginia volume in the Tales from a Revolution series, in which each stand-alone novel explores how the American War of Independence unfolds across a different colony. If you've ever wondered what the final major battle of the Revolution looked like from the inside, you'll find a front-row seat in The Siege.
Narrated by Shamaan Casey, whose baritone has been compared to James Earl Jones, this unabridged audio production brings both the everyday and exceptional moments of The Siege to life.
Listen to The Siege today, and witness the American Revolution from behind enemy lines!
