📱 eBook en inglés OF PLYMOUTH PLANTATION - TRUE STORY OF THE PILGRIMS' LIFE IN THE NEW WORLD COLONY (SUMMARIZED EDITION)

Of Plymouth Plantation - True Story of the Pilgrims Life in the New World Colony narrates the Separatists migration from Leiden, the Atlantic crossing, the Mayflower Compact, and two difficult decades of settlement, chiefly 1620–1647. Bradfords plain, scripturally infused chronicle links ledger-like detail to providential interpretation, employing biblical typology to read famine, treaty, and harvest. He records the starving time, the shift from communal labor to private plots, diplomacy with Massasoit and Tisquantum (Squanto), debt to English backers, and frictions with rival plantations. William Bradford (1590–1657), repeatedly elected governor, was a self-taught Separatist shaped by exile in Scrooby and Leiden and the colonys lethal first winter. Writing between 1630 and 1651, he sought to memorialize trials, defend policy, and instruct posterity, blending administrative record with covenant theology born of hardship, scarcity, and precarious alliances. Students of American history, religious culture, and political beginnings will find here an exacting primary source rather than pious legend. Read it for eyewitness detail, the grammar of Puritan hope and anxiety, and the emergence of consensual self-rule in a fragile colony. Bradfords chronicle remains an indispensable, unadorned classic.
