William Bradford (1590-1657) was an English Separatist leader who grew up in Yorkshire, England, and later played a lead role in the founding of the Plymouth Colony in present-day Massachusetts. As the second Governor of Plymouth Colony, he served for over three decades, his leadership proving critical in the colony's establishment and survival. Bradford is prominently remembered for his detailed written account, 'Of Plymouth Plantation,' which is a primary source for the history of the colony from 1620 to 1647. In this work, he documented the experiences of the Pilgrims, including their religious persecution in England, their time in the Netherlands, the Mayflower voyage, and their challenges and triumphs in the New World. Although the book provided—'The Story of the Mayflower Voyage and the Destiny of the Passengers'—is not a known work of Bradford, it suggests a focus on the epic journey and the subsequent lives of those aboard the Mayflower, elements which are covered extensively in 'Of Plymouth Plantation.' Bradford's literary style is marked by a straightforward narrative interlaced with providential interpretations of the events he recounts. His writings reflect a poignant mix of determination, faith, and a pragmatic approach towards governance and intercultural relations. As a historical figure, Bradford's contributions extend beyond his literature, influencing American political thought and practices of self-governance, concepts which later shaped the ethos of the United States.
