An enduring living biography on Squanto (Tisquantum),
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Squanto (Paperback)
This is a great living biography book about Tisquantum (Squanto). This book isn't a fairy tale story that most Squanto and Pilgrim books portray to us and our children. "This book relies on primary source documents of the period, and tells the story of the European scramble for expansion and colonization from a Native American point of view."Squanto endured much hardship through his youth and adult life and yet, he was able to overcome and forgive those who stole his life and soul. He adopted the Mayflower pilgrims who moved onto his people's (Patuxet tribe of the Wampanoag) sacred ground after his entire Patuxet tribe died of a plague carried over from the old world. He taught the Mayflower pilgrims his people's heritage on surviving in the wilderness in which the Wampanoag people held sacred and loved so dearly. Find out how Captain George Weymouth, Captain John Smith, Sir Ferdinando Gorges, England's King James I and VI of Scotland, Thomas Hunt, Thomas Dermer, Miles Standish, William Bradford and many other historical figures relate to Squanto's life story. I was awed by Tisquantum's human spirit. My children and I truly enjoyed reading this book together and recommend it to both the young and the old.
