william bradford has a very legible handwriting. the other thing is, in terms of us using the online scan version, one of the things that is nice about that is that you can blow up the image on your screen, which helps in terms of deciphering some of what is there. >> i see kristen on the screen. i'll mention one more thing, christian, if that's all right. an alternate version of plymouth plantation will be available online come published online, it's the verbatim transcription of the text that provides notes, textual notes to all of the emendations that were made over type x looks much more heavily annotated for those who might see that. it would be available soon at the plymouth society for massachusetts, at any atg as site and at the state library of massachusetts site, so be on the lookout for that. >> great, thank you so much. that was fascinating, particularly your comments about the library. i would like to say we didn't get to have a chance to get all of the questions so is her l address where people could reach? >> yes. the

william bradford, governor of the plymouth colony, wrote when the system was established and self-reliance rule, the house wives came out of their kitchen and children gave up play time to work in the fields so the family could have more and do better. the fruit of their labors were there, no wonder they were willing to work. who could look at the incentive of ong property and keep the proceeds of one's labor. and that had happened at plymouth had happened in jamestown earlier. students of history will recall the colorful interlude at jamestown with characters such as captain john smith and pocahontas who saved him from the anger of a chief. and this that was established at jamestown and common store house and equal measures for all. and it failed miserably just at plymouth. and in jamestown people almost starved under this. and they had individual responsibilities instead of government property and dependence upon the common store house started the colony on the road to success. what captain smith wrote in his diary. >> after the starvation was averted in jamestown changing to property ow

not the revolutionary meters, not james mattis and george washington, they have founders were william bradford, william penn, john smith, that is a 17th century founders. throughout the great history in this. he had ten volumes on the colonial period he thought the colonial period was the founding of america. in fact, 1820 the constitutional convention in new york they revived in the constitution. mark vanburen who becomes the first american politician as the president, he did nothing he never had any great speech, he never negotiated a great treaty he was simply the most stupid politician that america had ever seen he organize a new york party that brought him into prominence. in that convention he said washington and jefferson he says forget about them their aristocrats, they have nothing to do with democrats. that was one of the great arguments of the antifederalists. the whole system is aristocratic it's creating a government which will benefit at the expense of the many. mark vanburen almost single-handedly is lincoln who makes the founders that we talk about, he is the one who says the m

under the governorship of william bradford, went on to mary freedom woodward who won a daughter theyed thankful and began a line of americans would fight and serve to all our wars, french and indian, revolutionary, civil, onto iraq and afghanistan, all the way up until today. our nation and the creed it represents is under constant assault from the forces of revisionism, backed in a culture war by woke corporations, big tech and the most malevolent forces within our media, all seeking to deny our inheritance, destroy our past, forget the faces of our fathers, and demolish the value of the courage and dedication at the heart of america's creation. that's why it's incumbent upon us as americans to renew this spirit in every generation, not to sit back on what prior generations built but to strive out into the wilderness ourselves the areas of life on this corner of god's creation still undiscovered, uncontested and unclaimed. as the late, great richard john neuhaus said it. >> why do we want everybody to work and everybody to participate? because it's premised upon not just a vacuous n

they are founders where john winthrop, william bradford, william penn, john smith, that is the 17th century founders. and when bancroft wrote his great history in this period he had ten volumes on the colonial period. he thought the colonial period was the founding of america. it's almost -- in fact in 1820, at the constitutional convention in new york, they're revising the constitution. martin van buren who becomes, i think, the first american politician as a president, he did nothing. he never had any great speech. he never won a battle. he never -- never negotiated a great treaty. he was simply the most astute politician america had ever seen up to that point. he organized a new york party that brought him into prominence. in that convention he says, look at these guys back there, you know, washington and jefferson, he says forget about them, they're aristocrats, they have nothing to do with us, we're democrats. and of course that was one of the great arguments of the anti-federalists, that the whole system is aristocratic, it's creating a government which will -- the few will benefit at

>> well, governor william bradford gave us a pretty good picture of what they ate, which was probablyd turkey, but wild turkey, they certainly would have had a lot more seafood. cod is what kept them alive. muscles, and eel. so if there's not eel on your table, you're not historically accurate. we could also add the venison, the 90 uninvited guests, wamponog warriors, for the first thanksgiving, went out and killed five deer. you might spend a lot of time tomorrow, they spent three days celebrating the first harvest, being grateful for the fact they had survived. one-half of the hundred passengers on the mayflower died in that first year. it was a bitter and difficult struggle and it's really a fascinating story, much more interesting than the mythic version we got back in grade school. >> i feel like the next thing you're going to tell me is that the native americans and pilgrims really didn't play touch football? >> they didn't play touch football, but we do know from governor bradford that there were races and wrestling, and the pilgrims also took out the muskets in a bit of a show

potential still to come and the other one that wild quote is from an account at the time 1620 from william bradfordpilgrims, had different ways of talking. a progressive leftist wouldn't have expressed it that way. if the mayflower had been filled with progressive leftist it would have failed because they would argue about pronouns. this is a moment to celebrate and have gratitude for the people who created this wonderful society we enjoy today. >> dana: there is a quote from a "wall street journal" editorial about this said don't let ideologues steal thanksgiving. they air grievances. a little out of control, james. >> yeah. kirkpatrick, long time editor still writes for us but this constant attack on tradition. i mentioned how grateful we can all be the mayflower wasn't fill with progressive leftists. the venture never would have occurred. ask what is the great civilization founded by progressives and you will get a long, awkward silence. what we have to celebrate, you look at 1620 the mayflower compact. this is really the model for self-government. it is not just rich guys or the religious elder

sean sat them down and said you know, william bradford says no one gets to eat if they don't help.rse that's how it started. let's show how it ended. that's how everybody's thanksgiving ends. lawrence: that's everybody in america. >> we asked you guys yesterday to send us your photos. michael sent us a picture of his family gathering at his son's home in indiana. look at that beautiful family there. >> and here is thanksgiving at the -- i think that says million family their home in new york. rachel: what great family. look at that. that's a nice big family. plus, baby averly celebrating first thanksgiving. baby sent by grandparents. tom and theresa from florida. that baby is adorable. joey: pictures so cool. my first thanksgiving. you so big so quick fourth of july to thanksgiving. so crazy. lawrence: so happy you guys had a great thanksgiving. on to politics. the president of the united states is now declaring doing a phone call supposed to be surprise yesterday that america is back. take a look. >> hold on, my phone is ringing, just a second. oh my gosh. look at who is calling.

in 1961, he published this extract from a 17th century document, we know know was based on william bradford'srnal. the second editorial, he wrote himself and it is about what he observed as he traveled around america, and it is a beautiful piece of prose. he was a magnificent writer and as i might say, instead of -- i commend it to your attention. i noticed this morning when i was looking at them in the paper online, there are already a lot of comments on the editorials. host: on that second editorial, not to read the whole thing but this is the final three paragraphs of that. we can all remind ourselves that the richness of this country was not born in the resources of the earth, though they be plentiful, but in the men that took its measure. for that reminder is everywhere, in the cities, towns, farms, roads, factories, homes, hospitals, schools that spread everywhere over that wilderness. we remind ourselves that for all our social discourse, yet remain longest enduring society of free men governing themselves without benefit of kings or dictators. being so, we are the marvel and the myste
