American Minute with Bill Federer
October 18

The only Pilgrim to have a portrait, Edward Winslow was born this day, October 18, 1595.
As a young man he joined the Separatists, a persecuted Christian group, and fled to Leyden, Holland, where he and William Brewster printed illegal religious pamphlets distributed back in England.
After twelve hard years, at the age of 25, Winslow departed with 101 Pilgrims to the New World.
In 1622, he cured Indian chief Massaoit of a dreadful sickness, resulting in a peace which lasted over fifty years.
Three times Governor of the Plymouth Colony, he oversaw their finances and repeatedly sailed to England for legal and business purposes, bringing back the colony's first cattle.
For seventeen weeks Anglican Archbishop William Laud had him jailed.
He returned to England, served in Oliver Cromwell’s army during the English Civil War, and sailed as commissioner with Admiral Sir William Penn, father of Pennsylvania’s founder, on an expedition to capture the island of Hispaniola from Spain.
After defeat at Santo Domingo, he died of a fever on the way to Jamaica, which Penn captured.
In Young’s Chronicles, Edward Winslow wrote of the Pilgrims:
"Drought and the like...moved not only every good man privately to enter into examination with his own estate between God and his conscience, and so to humiliation before Him, but also to humble ourselves together before the Lord by fasting and prayer."
