About this book
William Bradford of Plymouth is by Albert H. Plumb, and the book is dedicated to all descendants of William Bradford and to all who admire this leader of New England's founders. The preface calls it a pleasing task to record afresh the life course of one of those whom the poet Whittier characterized as "the noblest ancestry that ever a people looked back to with love and reverence." The text describes the North of England as sparsely settled, with people who were comparatively rude and uneducated, with few schools.
Elizabeth, in her laudable aim to uplift the nation by improving the people and repressing the nobles, encouraged the incoming of tens of thousands of Dutch. The Bradford household, of parents and children, is said to have comprised eight persons, residing in the Governor's assigned homestead at the south-west corner of the square in the intersection of the two main streets. The manuscript volume is described as a folio less than a foot long, nearly eight inches wide, and an inch and a half in thickness, having two hundred and seventy pages.
