Bookroo's summary

In 1620, the Mayflower lands on Pokanoket shores, where Squanto, once captured and enslaved, becomes a vital guide for the settlers. As he teaches them survival, a shared feast marks the beginning of a tradition that endures for centuries. How did Squanto's past shape his role in this pivotal moment?

From the publisher

In 1620 an English ship called the Mayflower landed on the shores inhabited by the Pokanoket, and it was Squanto who welcomed the newcomers and taught them how to survive. When a good harvest was gathered, the people feasted together–a tradition that continues almost four hundred years later.
