Notes: "First published at London in 1622 as A relation or journal of the proceedings of the plantation settled at Plymouth in New England. The book is commonly called Mourt's relation, because the preface is signed G. Mourt, and no other indication of authorship is given ... It is now believed that Governor Bradford, Edward Winslow, and others of the colonists kept this journal"--P.
