Bradford - "Of Plymouth Plantation"

"There was a proud and very profane young man, one of the seamen, of a lusty, able body, which made him the more haughty; he would always be contemning the poor people in their sickness and cursing them daily with grievous execrations; and did not let to tell them that he hoped to help to cast half of them overboard before they came to their journey’s end, and to make merry with what they had; and if he Were by any gently reproved, he would curse and swear most bitterly. But it pleased God before they came half seas over, to smite this young man with a grievous disease, of which he died in a desperate manner, and so was himself the first that was thrown overboard. Thus his curses light on his own head, and it was an astonishment to all his fellows for they noted it to be the just hand of God upon him."

Im on my way to America to claim the new land. I wonder what it looks like and how it would feel to live there. I have heard many stories but know i get to see for myself how it really is. I cant to see the beautiful thing in America, im very excited to see what we can accomplish over there. We been having some difficulties getting there but we will be there soon. I hope everything works out.
Its been a couple of hours and we have finally made it, im happy, and is ready to explore this place. Bu who are these people who are here. I thought we were we going to be the first to discover America but i guess im wrong. My leader said were making them move but i kinda feel bad about it because they were here first. But im going with it "WELCOME TO AMERICA".
