Of Plymouth Plantation, 1620 1647 by William Bradford
1620–1647
A detailed first-person chronicle of the Pilgrim settlers from their departure and perilous transatlantic crossing through the founding and development of an early New England settlement between 1620 and 1647, recounting initial starvation and disease, the drafting of a compact for self-government, cooperative treaties and fraught encounters with Native peoples (including the aid of Squanto and the peace with Massasoit), shifts from communal to private land practices, internal disputes and legal matters, and continual reflections on faith, providence, and the moral and practical challenges of establishing a durable colonial community.
