1.03 William Bradford
1. I learned from reading the passage that William Bradford was born on a farming community in Austerfeild, Yorkshire in 1590. Another fact is that that William Bradford is the only known survivor of the Mayflower to write about Plymouth in his book Of Plymouth Plantation. Last but not least is when Bradford married a 16 year old girl and had a child with her two years later and didn't stay with her for the rest of his life.

2.William Bradford became the governor of Plymouth after the first governor died in 1621. His writings were based on his experiences as a leader of the colony. He wrote about their tragedies, and triumphs, as they became a true colony.

3. William Bradford's wife Dorothy, had fallen off the Mayflower while the ship was anchored at Provincetown Harbor and died.
