'''William Bradford''' lived from March 1590 to May 9, 1657. He was the governor of the [[Plymouth Plantation|Plymouth colony]] for 30 years.
Bradford fled England when he was 17 years old, and along with other persecuted Pilgrims went to Holland. When he was 30, he sailed to America with the other Pilgrims on the Mayflower, and he helped draft the [[Mayflower Compact]]. The Pilgrims elected him governor in 1621. He was so popular that he was reelected 30 more times, until he died.
