Albert Hale Plumb

Albert Hale Plumb was an American author born in 1863. Library authority records identify him as the author of William Bradford of Plymouth, published in Boston by R. G. Badger in 1920.

Catalog and archival records also connect him with other religious and historical writing, and Yale’s archival authority record lists his lifespan as 1863–1961. The surviving records available online are fairly sparse, so much of his personal life is harder to trace than his published work.

For audiobook listeners, Plumb is most notable as a biographical writer with an interest in early New England and Protestant intellectual history. His writing on William Bradford reflects a clear focus on colonial American character, leadership, and faith.
