Ive been doing research on Plymouth as a personal interest and this was the best of any of the videos i watched. Unlike many youtube videos that make sweeping generalizations and historically revision the past, youve brought a scholarly narrative of the subject. Ill definetly have to read the whole book!... BTW, Ive never heard Bradford's commentary on the failures of communistic society that he saw first hand. That was fascinating and demonstrates how wise Bradford was.
Thanks a lot for listening! I'm glad it was useful. I try to stick to what can be more clearly known in studying history, and even if that ends up being a more limited picture, it's more reliable. The Plymouth Colony is of course a fascinating topic and if you're studying it generally, it's definitely worth reading the whole book.
I'm descended from John Alden & Priscilla Mullins and just this year found out that my best friend since 1980, his Mayflower ancestor was Williiam Bradford and those guys both signed The Mayflower Compact and worked together when Bradford was Governor!! Is that cosmic or what?!!!
I recently found out that Bradfords second wife Alice Carptenter Southworth is my 10th great grandma... meaning, I suppose, that William Bradford is my 10th step great grandfather...
Very cool. I just looked and saw that Alice was married previously to one Edward Southworth, who died, and then she married Bradford, so I guess your direct ancestor from that time must have been Edward. The lore in my family is that one branch are descendants of John Howland, whom Bradford mentions briefly in one passage of his diary, but I have never traced the genealogy to confirm it. It is always interesting to see these family connections to history, of which there must be more than we are generally aware.
@@vollrathpublishing Thats correct, my geneology traces back to Alice Bradford's son from her first marriage, Constant Southworth. His daughter Mercy Southworth married Samuel Freeman... my grandmother is a Freeman of that line. So Im related to all the Freemans of that lineage.

Great video and commentary!!! Yes, the Indians were colonizing and inslaving each other before Jamestown and Plymouth.

WOW. This was wonderful. I like your explaining that conquest started with a stone in hand.
Excellent! Thanks so much for this refreshing reading and commentary. All the research you put into it. Better than all the fancy documentaries.. ❤😊
That's very kind of you to say. Thank you for listening.
thank you for the frank and informative discussion. wb
You're very welcome - thanks for listening.
Interesting. Seeing it from a different view.
Hijacking....you did that over a wonderful story I was listening about the Mayflower. Sis on you !!!!!!!
Awesome video. ❤ liked & subscribed! I'm from the "John Milton" Family Line. My maiden surname is "Melton" via Virginia. Early 1600's
It sounds like your family was just about there when they landed. Someday I'll have to do some more reading about Jamestown. Thanks for listening.

So your ancestors were buddies too 400 years ago. That's really cool.
Grandpa Thomas Faunce was instrumental in making Plymouth Rock an icon.
I hadn't heard of this but I enjoyed reading about it.
