The Fighting Governor by Charles W. Colby is a historical fiction novel that tells the story of William Bradford, the governor of the Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts during the 17th century. The book follows Bradford's journey from his early years as a young man in England to his eventual leadership of the colony and the challenges he faced along the way.As the title suggests, Bradford was known for his fighting spirit and determination, which is highlighted throughout the book as he navigates the difficulties of settling in a new land and dealing with conflicts with neighboring Native American tribes. The novel also explores Bradford's personal life, including his relationships with his wife and children, as well as his religious beliefs and the role they played in his leadership.Overall, The Fighting Governor offers an engaging and insightful look into the life of one of America's early leaders and the struggles he faced in establishing a new community in a foreign land.But if his character were of tough fibre, there was also a chance that he might render service to his king. At times of danger the government was glad to call on him for aid. When Tracy or Denonville or Frontenac led an expedition against the Iroquois, it was fortunate that Canada could muster a cohort of men who knew woodcraft as well as the Indians. In days of peace the coureur de bois was looked on with less favour. The king liked to know where his subjects were at every hour of the day and night.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
