Hi Tim,
I enjoyed the video quite a bit especially because I’m a twelfth-great grandson of Governor Bradford, and making him come to life is a meaningful personal experience for me. The audio wasn’t too good (even cranked all the way up); so, I missed things. Can you clarify the characters? I’ve got Massasoit, his wife, and the Governor. Who’s the remaining young man? Because I couldn’t follow all of the conversation with Bradford and the reference to “Master Winslow” and the someone’s growing up, I couldn’t determine whether he was one of Massasoit’s sons (Alexander or Philip) or Massasoit’s brother. Given the sachem’s social position, would it have been typical that he would have usually traveled with a large entourage as opposed to only two others? I understand that it might not be practical to have a larger number of interpreters simply standing around without any role just portray the scene. Please keep the videos coming!
