“and Ye Earth Shooke...”
Friday, June 1, 1638, 2 pm: the first recorded earthquake in
America rocked the settlement at Plymouth, Massachusetts,
No accurate descriptions of earlier earthquakes exist prior to
Governor William Bradford’s report of this event as recorded
in his Hiuorv of the Plymouth Plantation "However, it was very
terrible for ye time, and as ye men were set talking in ye house,
some women and others were without ye doors, and ye earth
shooke with ye violence as they could not stand without catch
ing hold of ye posts and pails yt stood next them, but ye vio
lence lasted not long And about halfe an hower, or less, came
an other noysc & shaking, but neither so loud nor strong as ye
former, but quickly passed over, and so it ceased ”
Earthquake before eleven, rain same Jay.
