Summary: "Governor William Bradford's Letter Book" by William Bradford is a historical collection of letters written in the early 17th century. The letters provide insight into the establishment and challenges faced by the Plymouth Colony, detailing the governance, communal issues, and relationships with both settlers and the indigenous peoples. This compilation serves as a crucial account for understanding early colonial life and the dynamics within the fledgling community. The beginning of this work introduces the context of Bradford's letters, revealing how they highlight the struggles of the Plymouth Colony's governance amid financial disputes and interpersonal conflicts among the settlers. Key figures such as James Sherley, Thomas Brewer, and others emerge as they communicate with Governor Bradford regarding various concerns, including agricultural challenges, financial obligations, and the principles of community cohesion. The letters convey both the urgency of their circumstances and a deep longing for prosperous coexistence, as the colonists aim to establish a viable and morally grounded society despite their many adversities.
