written primarily by Edward Winslow, although William Bradford
appears to have written most of the first section. Written between November
1620 and November 1621, it describes in detail what happened from the landing
of the Pilgrims at Cape Cod, though their exploring and eventual settling at
Plymouth, to their relations with the surrounding Indians, up to the First Thanksgiving
and the arrival of the ship Fortune.
