Both extracts, the first one written by William Bradford and the second written by Dee Brown, presents two different point of view about the arrival of the “Pilgrim Fathers”, who sailed to America on the Mayflower in 1620 to escape religious persecution.

In the first document , written from the colonist’s point of view, the reader may noticed that the settlers, landed after a long trip, weren’t helped by the “Natives of the new world”, when they arrives they didn’t receive a welcome they expected. They felt hopeless because the landscape in front of them was desolate, they could see only a savage and wild place, full of wild mans, without any landmarks they could neither go up to the top of Pisgah, how did Moses to get a better view of the promised land of Israel as The Old Testament, they could only look , with resignation ,the mighty ocean that separated them from the civilized world.

There was no one who could help them, no place to refresh their “beaten bodies”, no house that could repair them by the sharp winter . The American Natives were considered as a “barbarian people”, ready to hit the pilgrims with their arrows.

Therefore, this text conveys in the reader’s mind the imagine of negative experience by settlers, who felt as imprisoned in a hostile land, separated from the civil world, where only the help of God could save them.

The second text is completely different , because it was written from the point of view of the natives of the New World. In this extract, when the pilgrims landed at Plymouth in 1620, were starving to death, had it not been for the help of the natives who considered the pilgrim as "helpless chidren", so they shared with them their corn reserves, they showed them how to plant and how to grow it, how to catch fish, and how to survive the cold winters.
Therefore, according to this excerpt the , settlers received a warm welcome by the natives, but the desire of the colonists to "civilize" the land was such to break the friendship established between the two peoples.

Slowly, the number of pilgrims increased, they began to crowd and needed new spaces for living. At first they asked Samoset to give them additional acres, which were granted by the Indians leads through a transfer ceremony, without paying, because according to these native lands belonged only to the "Great Spirit".
From now on, the settlers took advantage of the kindness of the natives, who were deprived of their land, without transferring rite , and were forced to turn back into the wilderness.

So the two extracts show views of the same event completely different, and it is difficult to determine which one is closest to what really happened. I am sure about the subjugation of the natives by European , which for centuries are trying to impose their customs wherever they go.
