Bradford's devotion shown - ''Thus out of small beginnings greater things have grown by His hand Who made all things out of nothing, and gives being to all things that are; and as one small candle may light a thousand, so the light enkindled here has shone to many, yea, in a sense, to our whole nation; let the glorious name of Jehovah have all the praise.

Even the faithful look to their religion to receive salvation more than giving praise to Jehovah's name. The film by Ric Burns - ''American Experience: The Pilgrims''; is an excellent presentation of Bradford's book.

I notice a lot of American virtues that grew out from this period such as you help those who are close to you in the wilderness, American women do men's jobs as well, emphasis on strong people, necessity causes changes, the effects from both good and bad men alike. The story was told mainly by presenting historical documents interspersed with his narrations.

It is rather tedious and befuddled since I know very little context of the situations that the documents were referring to.
