The next big project is our Pilgrims Story. We are going to write a historical fiction story about the Pilgrims so we need to learn about the Pilgrims. One of the ways we got information was Mort’s Relation. This was designed to bring more people to Plymouth. This was a quote from Mort’s Relation that I illustrated. The spelling that the pilgrims used was a little different then the way we spell today. This is the quote with the original spelling and the second I will have corrected (I know it doesn’t really make sence but it’s about the mayflower compact).

“This day before we came to harbour, obseruing some not well affected to vnitie and concord, but gaue some appearance of fraction, it was thought good there should combine together in one body, and to submit to such goverment and governours, as we should by comon consent agree to make and choose, and set our hands to this that followes word for word.”

“This day before we came to harbor, observing some not well affected to unite and concord, but gave some appearance of fraction, it was thought good that there should combine together in one body, and to submit to such goverment and governors, as we should by comon consent agree to make and choose, and set our hands to this that follows word for word.”
