About the author:
Connecticut is where Bradford was born in 1870. After ten years, his family relocated to Washington. Bradford attended Central High School before joining the inaugural graduating class of the Corcoran School of Art.
Massachusetts was affected by a smallpox outbreak in the 1630s (Crosby, 2007). The majority of the tribal tribes would perish in subsequent smallpox outbreaks that would affect them after this one (Crosby, 2007). Smallpox sufferers allegedly died and lost their strength so swiftly that they were unable to even bury their own dead, let alone start a fire or go get water, according to William Bradford, who described the disease's ravages (as cited in Crosby, 2007). When the Cherokee, Catawba, Omaha, and Mandan Tribes were afflicted, missionaries and traders who moved inland in America shared the same horrible tales (Crosby, 2007). Because the native cultures of the New World had never acquired immunity to the disease, smallpox was a catastrophic illness for them.
