Notes for WILLIAM BRADFORD:
[sanford-shulsen.FTW]
"English Homes of the Pilgrims", a Mayflower Society map, shows Will iam Bradford as coming from
Austerfield, northwest England near the Nort h Sea. The 1080 Norman Church at Austerfield, and the baptismal
font whe re he was baptized, is still there .
In 1606 Bradford joined the Separatists, and three years later he we nt with them to Holland in search of
freedom of worship. In Holland he b ecame an apprentice to a silk manufacturer. He came to Plymouth Colony o
n the Mayflower in 1620. In April 1621 he succeeded Governor John Carve r as Governor of Plymouth Colony.
He was re-elected 30 times, serving fr om 1621 through 1656 except for five years. On four occasions he was del
egate to the New England Confederation, and twice he was elected presiden t. His "History of Plimouth
Plantation, 1620-1647", was published in 185 6, 200 years after his death.
On 2 April 1621, Bradford negotiated a peace treaty between the Pilg rims and Massasoit, the Chief of the
Wampanoag Nation. The treaty agreed :
"1. That neither he, nor any of his, should injure to do hurt to an y of the English.
"2. If any of his did hurt to any of ours, he should send the offend er, that we might punish him.
"3. That if any of our tools were taken away, when our people were a t work, he should cause them to be
restored, and if ours did harm to an y of his, we should do the like to them .
"4. If any did unjustly war against him, we would aid him; if any di d war against us, he should aid us.
"5. He should send to his neighboring confederates, to certify the m ofthis, that they might not wrong us, but
might be likewise comprised i n the conditions of peace.
"6. That when their men came, they should leave their bows and arrow s behind them, as we should do our
pieces when we went to them .
"Lastly, that doing thus, King James would esteem him as a friend an d ally."
Massasoit then governed the greater part of what is now Massachusett s and Rhode Island. This treaty, the
work of one day, being honestly int ended on both sides, was kept faithfully as long as Massasoit lived. Wams
utta, Massasoit's eldest son, became sachem at his father's death in 1661 . Metacomet, or Philip, as he was called
by the English, succeeded his b rother at his death. Philip formally renewed the treaties, but in 1675 , after the
Pilgrims made increasing demands for Native American land, Ph ilip led an uprising against the settlers in what is
now called King Phil ip's War.
The first Thanksgiving Day celebration was organized by Bradford i n 1621. Hare's "Five Kernels of Corn"
tells the story surrounding this ev ent:
"It was a cold, gray day on November 15, 1620. The Mayflower rode a t anchor near the shore, while a group
of eager men set out in a small bo at to explore the desolate, barren land to which they'd come. One of th e first
things they discovered near the beach was a deserted cornfield wh ere the dry, broken stalks rustled in the sharp
wind. Nearby they saw se veral strange mounds. Upon digging into one, they were amazed to find od d-looking,
yellow, red and blue Indian corn. They took some with them t o use of seed when they planted their crops in the
spring. They couldn' t know then how important that corn would prove to be to the colony's fut ure. They weren't
prepared for that first dreadful winter, and there wa s much sickness. Nearly half the colonists died before spring
finally ar rived. Of those who survived, about half were children not yet sixteen y ears old; and only five married
women remained. When spring came, the me n and boys planted 20 acres of Indian corn. Six additional acres
they pl anted with the seeds they'd brought from England - wheat, rye, barley an d peas - and there were vegetable
gardens near the houses. But to everyo ne's dismay, the seeds they'd brought failed to produce, being unsuited t o
