    yet been traced. From William Bradford to Robert Lowell, prominent historical writers have returned to Morton's short-lived plantation, finding within its small scope and tragicomic demise a symbolic conflict of great moment for the national future.' When the literary reach of an incident so outlasts its effect upon past events, its matter has become the stuff of legend. Verifiable information about its episodes, no longer of much concern to a po…
