I have been collecting current publication copies for my large family - and a few years ago, there was a “Bradford's History” on ebay. I won it for $5.
Imagine my elation when I opened the package and found one of the original editions as outlined above! Obviously, the seller had no idea what is really was. Probably in gramma’s things when she passed and who wanted that old book - or something similar.
I treasure it.
oops - I just realized I posted one link twice and didn’t get this link posted

This PBS special this spring “WE Shall Remain” is the most accurate telling of our dealing with the Native Americans I have seen.
The first segment in on the Pilgrims. It has a couple minor glitches, but still the truest I’ve seen to date. It shows that the original Pilgrims had a warm and lasting friendship with the local Indians, whom they admired and whom they never tried to ‘convert’. They made a mutual aid treaty that they never broke - the only treaty not to be broken.

and this has to do with the First Thanksgiving - how?
Because, thanks to the OBOWzo maladministration, Thanksgiving 2010 will most likely be a replay of those first celebrations — food riots and all.
Thanks for the informative post. Do you know much about the “praying Indians” of places like Natick?
The "praying Indians" came under the UBER self-righteous Puritans of Boston Bay Colony, unfortunately.
The Puritans looked upon the Natives as ignorant heathens in need of conversion, even by force, whereas the Pilgrims Fathers admired the Indians for who they were - found them to be as civil and honest as others - and indeed, their women to be more modest. ;o)
The Puritans not only felt the right to convert the "savages' to Christianity but to force them to give up their customs and live like 'civilized' people. What effrontery.
the Pilgrims struggled for decades to keep from being overpowered by the Puritans but numbers flooding into the Boston Bay Colony finally upset the balance and the applecart. And it went downhill from there as to relationships with the Native Americans.
The Puritans were a stiff-necked, holier-than-thou, scary people - a lot of their descendants are running around today ;o) and they have inherited the traits. (I suspicion most are liberals. LOL)

This story is in one of (I think first)Rush’s Books. I’m just glad someone found the original journal.. and the scumsuckers can’t deny it anymore.
Most excellent!!!
Thanks. May this Thanksgiving be the beginning of a renewal of our great land.
I thank God for His providence and the exposure of criminals that want to destroy us.
Rush likes to tell this story around this time of year. Still worth a look though, thanks!
Many years ago we lived across the street from and became aquatinted with Russell Bradford and his family who were decedents of William Bradford. Mr Bradford gave talks on Plymouth Colony and later his son Russell Bradford III did the same during his teaching career until he died of cancer. He took a year off to research the family’s history. It was before the internet. I must do some poking around myself...
Rush, is that you??
Awesome, thank you for the ping!!
