William Bradford (1590-1657)
William Bradford was the long-time governor of Plymouth colony. He came to New England on the Mayflower in 1620 and in 1621, on the death of John Carver, was chosen leader of the Pilgrims. Bradford's chronicle, Of Plimouth Plantation, is an invaluable record of early English settlement in North America.
