Diary Entry William Bradford

Ah Yes............the voyage was rough. My brethren are glad to be rid of the confines of a ship and my sisters are joyful at finding land. I agree with both of them and I am ready to start life anew. After a most horrific journey, I am glad to be in this New World, away from prosecution. I have observed the most unusual specimens of wildlife in this strange land. New edibles have been found like this one that has particularly odd kernels.

I still believe in this new land because it is a safe haven from the Anglican church. The church has become the tyrant of England and they mock us as "heretics". Those singled-minded men preach untruths and are separated from God due to their unBiblical doctrines and teachings.
While we "Separatists" are safe from the despotic King, we have issues such as food to solve.

We have made discoveries, but I am afraid they will not save us from starvation. We have seen dark-skinned men come from the woods and my community is quizzical about these men. These "aliens" appear friendly but are shrouded in mystery. Only time will tell if they are friend or foe.
