William Bradford: Plymouth’s Rock (Heroes of History)

Description

“William shivered and his teeth chattered. Out at the water it used to be bone-chillingly cold. He could no longer feel his toes, and the spray splashing over the side of the shallop left a glaze of ice on his jacket. If the cold kept up much longer, William feared that the weather would possibly accomplish what the Indians had tried to do—kill all of them.”

Growing up in a small town in England, William Bradford lived all through a time of upheaval and opportunity. Along with a group of Separatists, William escaped England to ascertain a new life in Holland and in the end set out at the Mayflower on a perilous voyage around the Atlantic Ocean.

The New World beckoned as a land of freedom and possibility. Yet wild waters, icy winters, Indian attacks, starvation, and treason threatened the European settlers’ very existence. Through William’s vision and steadfast leadership, the people of Plymouth Colony would endure, their future descendants forming the cornerstone of a really perfect nation.
