Good Newes From New England

Good Newes From New England is Edward Winslow's journal which covers the events that occurred between 1622 and 1623 at Plymouth Colony. It includes firsthand information from the earliest American colonial history such as Tisquantum's death, the sickness of Massasoit, Thomas Weston's Wessagussett Colony, and many more.

Edward Winslow (1595-1655) was a Separatist who traveled on the Mayflower in 1620. He was one of several senior leaders on the ship and also later at Plymouth Colony. In early 1621 he had been one of several key leaders on whom Governor Bradford depended after the death of John Carver. He was the author of several important pamphlets, including Good Newes from New England and co-wrote with William Bradford the historic Mourt's Relation, which ends with an account of the First Thanksgiving and the abundance of the New World.
