Answer:
D
Explanation:
William Bradford (Governor of Plymouth) and Edward Winslow (A signatory of the Mayflower Compact and prominent citizen of the new colony) together wrote the booklet 'Mounts Relations'. Inside they detail all the information relating to the relations that the pilgrims had with the Native Indians. Compiled between November 1620 and November 1621, it describes the events between the landing of the Mayflower at Cape Cod and the First Thanksgiving. It also includes information on the exploration and settlement of Plymouth colony. As such between them, they provide one of the earliest accounts of American history and an invaluable insight into the difficulties that the early settlers faced. Therefore the answer is D; they wrote the only known eye witness account of what happened at the First Thanksgiving.
