| Summary | "William Bradford of Plymouth" by Albert Hale Plumb is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This biography explores the life of William Bradford, a key figure among the founders of New England, known for his leadership during the early establishment of the Plymouth Colony. The text delves into his personal journey and the challenges he faced as a Puritan leader seeking religious freedom and a new life in America. The opening of the work introduces Bradford's early life, starting in Austerfield, England, where he was born around 1590. It highlights his upbringing as an orphan and his gradual development into a figure of religious conviction, particularly in the context of the early Puritan movement. As he grows, the narrative sets the stage for his involvement with the Separatists in Scrooby, his eventual flight to Holland for religious freedom, and the determination that leads him to America. The opening chapters lay a firm foundation for understanding Bradford's character, motivations, and the socio-political context of his time, preparing the reader for his significant role in American history.
