William Bradford wrote, at the beginning of his history Of Plymouth Plantation, "I must begin at the very root and rise" of the story, setting events down "in a plain style, with singular regard unto the simple truth in all things." He intended to produce an accurate and clear account of the way the Plymouth settlers' lives unfolded. Readers after postmodernism may note with skepticism the governor's claim that his portrayal set down only the perfectly discoverable truth of the matter. Yet certain sparely depicted moments in his history lead us to accept the description "the simple truth" as the only one appropriate to his work
