HARVARD THEOLOGICAL REVIEW Volume XIII OCTOBER. 1920 Numrer 4 THE EARLIEST MINOR ACCOUNTS OF PLYMOUTH PLANTATION CHAMPLIN BURRAGE Cambridge The story of the voyage of the Mayflower in 1620 and of the Pilgrim settlement at Plymouth has been told again and again, and in this year of the tercentenary celebration will be repeated in still further varying forms; but we are certain that it will never be more graphically narrated than by the Pilgrims themselves and their friends during the twenties, thirties, and forties of the seventeenth century. In this paper I do not intend to venture to give any new version of that narrative. It is my purpose rather to recall certain phases of the story as they appear in the vigorous and terse English of the earliest accounts, and to note especially also the interesting archaeological information concerning the Indians of New England which they furnish. In recent years Governor Bradford's monumental History of Plimoth Plantation has overshadowed these minor accounts, and this is quite understandable, owing to its undoubted value, its comparatively recent recovery, and its publication in several editions. It would, however, be a mistake to suppose that the History has superseded the more fragmentary literature. Quite the contrary is the case, for that work was only commenced in 1630 and was written with an entirely different purpose in view. Consequently it lacks much of the freshness and detail of the first contemporary narratives, though it also occasionally supplements them with other facts of considerable interest. Sometimes, however, Bradford in the History abbreviates, alters, or even passes over in silence incidents or details which at the time of the arrival of the Pilgrims seemed interesting, if not important.
