A Child's Treasure of a Great American Leader, December 14, 2004
This is one of my favorite books for children. Although
some parts are fabricated for the interest of the story,
as conversations, what a person thinks, and perhaps some
of the events. But overall it is heavily based on the
life story of William Bradford. I read it aloud to my
children when they were younger, and enjoyed it myself.
William Bradford is one of the most honorable men in
United States History, and served as Governor of Plymouth
Colony for thirty years. Young William had so many disadvantages
growing up, he struggled hard to get an education,
overcame a difficult chldhood, and emerged a man of integrity
and honor. We need his story for our day.

My favorite children's biography, June 30, 2009
My family read this book aloud when I was in first grade, and it quickly became my favorite book. The story of William Bradford is beautifully told in a very entertaining way that really draws readers into the story and helps you identify and sympathize with the characters. I have read and enjoyed many biographies in my day, and this one still stands out as the best I have ever read.
