This edition of Bradford’s famous history is presented as part of the observation of the 400th anniversary of the founding of Plimoth Colony in 1620. Made from a new transcription of the original manuscript, with annotations that incorporate recent information and interpretations, this version of Bradford’s magnum opus includes an introduction that brings together Native and non-Native commentators as well as an appendix that presents Bradford’s later Hebrew exercises.
Simons has played a central role in the Pilgrim Quadricentennial commemorations as Vice Chair of the Plymouth 400th Anniversary State Commission, by appointment of Governor Charles D. Baker, a board member of Plymouth 400 Inc., and, at American Ancestors, as publisher of a host of 400th-anniversary themed books, including the 400th anniversary of William Bradford’s journal – in conjunction with the Colonial Society – and The Mayflower Descendant journal. In April 2021, he will honor former UK Prime Minister Sir John Major in an exclusive online event commemorating the Plymouth 400th anniversary.
