William Bradford

Sir, -The enclosed ancient manuscript I found some years ago in a grocer's shop in this town, of whom I obtained it with a view of saving what remained from destruction. I lament extremely that a page has been torn out; and it gives me pleasure that I now have an opportunity of placing it in your hands, -a freedom I am induced to take from your advertisement of the first of November, 1792, and from a persuasion that it may contribute in some measure to the important objects of your Society, and I could wish I might otherwise be serviceable.

Written over a span of twenty years, "Of Plymouth Plantation" is the authoritative account of the founding of the Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts by its leader William Bradford. The journal, here translated into modern English by Harold Paget in 1920, was begun by Bradford in 1630 and tells the story of the Pilgrims from their 1608 settlement in the Dutch Republic in Europe, through their voyage in 1620 aboard the "Mayflower" to the New World, and finally to the successful establishment of their colony in what would someday become Massachusetts. Bradford's journal is widely regarded as one of the most important historical texts of 17th century America and tells the story of these pioneering adventurers in a vivid, simple, and eloquent style. Bradford chronicles their treacherous and lengthy journey across the Atlantic, their demanding and difficult first years in the Colony, which were marked by hardship and death, and their encounters and relationships with the Native Americans they met in the New World. In addition to being an invaluable historical text of the precarious beginning of the European settlement of North America, it is also a fascinating and startlingly human portrait of people who risked everything for a new life. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

"We could see nothing but a desolate wilderness, full of wild beasts and wild men. . . . What, then, could now sustain us but the Spirit of God and His grace?" William Bradford, 1620. After almost four hundred years, the exciting, inspiring, and remarkable history of Plymouth Plantation and the Pilgrims who established it is now available in an understandable, easy-to-read format. Presenting Bradford's fascinating tale in modern English, With God in the Wilderness preserves this American classic for generations of young readers. Since its original publication in the 1600's, William Bradford's Of Plymouth Plantation has remained a classic text of American history, surviving almost four centuries of a nation's growth and change. Persecution, arrest, secret escapes, perilous journeys across the ocean to a new and uncharted land, Indian attacks, jealousies, murders, conspiracy and intrigue fill the pages of Bradford's account of a small congregation of believers who desired nothing but a place to worship God according to the truths of Scripture. Through hardship and suffering, famine and want, freezing winters and scorching heat, Bradford captures the dangerous yet thrilling times in which he lived, and records for all posterity the faithful fulfillment of God's wondrous promise: "I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Heb. 13:5). Join the Pilgrims as they board the Mayflower and travel to Plymouth Plantation to erect their own city on a hill. Meet Squanto and his friends and join in the first Thanksgiving ever celebrated in Massachusetts, all while learning about the providence of God and the true history of the foundation of America. "With God in the Wilderness" is great for children or young people of all ages, and offers the modern reader an understandable and comprehensible edition of Bradford's classic history. The text of this book has been taken from Harold Paget's 1920 edition. The work has been abridged and the English has been updated. Besides updating the English, one further change has been made to the manuscript. In Bradford's original work he referred to himself in the third person. This has been changed to the first person in order to make the story easier-to-understand for young people.
