Isaac Allerton: First Assistant of Plymouth Colony
Excerpt from Isaac Allerton: First Assistant of Plymouth Colony
If any find patience to read this account of an ancient controversy, he hopes that his lack of skill in arranging and presenting the case may not prevent their taking an impartial view of the evidence.
With little Opinion of the fairness of Bradford as a historian, or of his abilities as a business manager, the writer has neither intention nor desire to disparage the courage and political tact which enabled the governor to lead Plymouth colony through its early years of poverty, weakness and dissension, to better and more stable condi tions.
It is only with his injustice and jealousy, which left a legacy of detraction to be administered upon two hundred years later, that the writer has any quarrel.
