Mourts Relation Or Journal Of The Plantation At Plymouth

Presents an account, first published in 1622, of the Pilgrim's journey to the new world.

Reprint of the original, first published in 1865. With Introduction and Notes by Henry Martyn Dexter.

Mourt's Relation was written between November 1620 and November 1621, and it gives a detailed descriptionof what happened from the landing of the Mayflower Pilgrims on Cape Cod in Provincetown Harbor through their exploring and eventual settling of Plymouth Colony. It was written primarily by Edward Winslow, although William Bradford appears to have written most of the first section. The book describes their relations with the surrounding Native Americans, up to what is commonly called the first Thanksgiving and the arrival of the ship Fortune in November 1621.

Records the history of Plymouth Plantation as written by Bradford in his journals of 1620-1647.

One of America's earliest books and one of the most important early Pilgrim tracts to come from American colonies. This book helped persuade others to come join those who already came to Plymouth.
