William Bradford (I)
What kind of man did Bradford have to be in order to govern the Pilgrims for 30 years?
Bradford along the Pilgrims came to the new land in order to escape religious persecution, but before Bradford was able to experience the joy of being able to practice his religion freely, a tragedy occurred. Dorothy Bradford, Bradford’s wife, fell overboard or committed suicide as Bradford and the other men went to explore the new land. -
William Bradford (II)
This tragic loss of his wife must endowed Bradford with a compassionate and caring nature. Along with his compassionate nature, Bradford must have been a strong leader, a good decision maker, and a good judge of character, in order to govern such devout people, like the Pilgrims. The Pilgrims must have trusted Bradford’s judgment and guidance strongly, since they allowed him to be governor for 30 years. -
