"Bradford's History of the Plymouth Settlement, 1608-1650" by William Bradford is a story told in the 1600s about a group of people called the Pilgrims and their journey to America. The author writes about how the Pilgrims were treated unfairly in old England because of what they believed, and how this led them to travel across the ocean to start a new settlement called New Plymouth. Readers learn of the difficulties they faced in England and Holland, and the author highlights their strong commitment to their beliefs, as well as the hard choices they made to build a new life in a strange and difficult place.
