Mourt's Relation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The book Mourt's Relation (or full title "Mourt's Relation: A Journal of the Pilgrims in Plymouth") was written primarily by Edward Winslow, although William Bradford appears to have written most of the first section. Written between November 1620 and November 1621, it describes in detail what happened from the landing of the Mayflower Pilgrims inside the fishhook tip of Cape Cod (became Provincetown Harbor), through their exploring and eventual settling of Plymouth Colony; the book describes their relations with the surrounding native Indians, up to the First Thanksgiving and the arrival of the ship Fortune in November 1621. Mourt's Relation was first published in London in 1622, presumably by George Morton (hence the title "Mourt's Relation").
