Hello list, I would like to know if there is, to anyone's knowledge a 'contemporary' version, or translation, for lack of a better word, of William Bradford's book "Of Plymouth Plantation". I have two of the printed versions, and they are true to the old language, spelling, etc. That's all well and good, of course, but I am finding it very tedious to read. Some of it is more easily understood than the rest, but I find I have to read and re-read parts of it many times to get the 'gist' of what he is saying. It's kind of like the King James version of the Bible; while it is readable, some of it is difficult to decipher because the language is so different from our modern tongue. I really want to understand all this book has to say, and I am not sure I am doing that at this point. Please let me know if there is such a book out there. If there's not, all you scholars, historians, and writers out there should think about taking on such a project. I for one would buy it! Thanks, Linda
