NOTES
This edition of William Bradford's Of Plimoth Plantation is presented as part of the observation of the 400th anniversary of the founding of Plimoth Colony in 1620. It is offered not ony to observe an historic milestone and experience by to continue a reassessment of the meaning of Plimoth, as an act of faith but also an act of colonization; as a step toward a new life for some that meant the end of a way of life for others who had lived there from time immemorial; as the effort of a community to preserve its "sacred bond," but which in the process fragmented and was swept up in the larger tides of colonial and imperial appropriation
