William Bradford's _Of Plymouth Plantation_ is the first-hand account of the voyage of the ship _Mayflower_, founding of Plymouth Colony in modern-day Massachusetts, and the further colonization of the region of the United States now known as New England, written between 1630-1651 CE and covering the period c. 1607-1650 CE. William Bradford (l. 1590-1657 CE) was the second governor of the Plymouth Colony (1620-1691 CE) who arrived in North America aboard the _Mayflower_ and was a central participant in the founding and development of the settlement from the beginning. _Of Plymouth Plantation_ is, therefore, considered one of the most important works from early Colonial America. * * * _This is a companion discussion topic for the original article at [https://www.worldhistory.org/article/1634/excerpts-from-bradfords-of-plymouth-plantation/](https://www.worldhistory.org/article/1634/excerpts-from-bradfords-of-plymouth-plantation/)._ * * * **Join the Conversation** - Anything here you'd push back on? - Have you come across a different take on this topic? - Is there anything you'd change or add?
