For the past few years, a team of editors has been working on an edition of William Bradford's lesser known writing that will be published by the Colonial Society of Massachusetts and American Ancestors. In this program two of the editors, Dr. Francis Bremer and Dr. Kenneth Minkema, will discuss new findings that shed light on Bradford's literary efforts, Plymouth colony religion, and the much underestimated intellectual life of the colony.
