A group of them called Canarsees obligingly, perhaps even eagerly, accepted various pieces of pretty colored junk from the Dutchman Peter Minuet in 1626.

Excerpts from Of Plymouth Plantation
Yet he held his hold (though he was sundry fathoms under water) till he was hauled up by the same rope to the brim of the water, and then with a boat hook and other means got into the ship again and his life saved. Let it also be considered what weak hopes of supply and succour they left behind them, that might bear up their minds in this sad condition and trials they were under; and they could not but be very small
They Knew They Were Pilgrims
On beautiful spring days, I get to look out of my office window and see this: In addition to the uniqueness of both our surroundings and our work, all our Interpreters are special in another way. One fateful day a couple of years back, I had painstakingly crafted a rather large and beautiful pie, I think it was a herb tart, actually, which I was planning on carrying up the modern oven for baking

Two years later, Plymouth and the more populous and prosperous Massachusetts Bay Colony joined together to form the royal province of Massachusetts Bay. The Pilgrims sent a military force led by Myles Standish to arrest Morton, and he was sent back to England to face charges of trading arms with American Indians
The True Story of Thanksgiving: Squanto, the Pilgrims, and the Pope - These Stone Walls
As a result of the papal decree, the Catholic Church in Spain was opposed to the mistreatment of Indians, and opposed to bringing them to Europe against their will. The Pilgrims came here to establish a New World theocracy, a religiously oriented society that would reflect their religious fervor which was also anti-Catholic
The details of their democratic system were so impressive that about 150 years later Benjamin Franklin invited the Iroquois to Albany, New York, to explain their system to a delegation who then developed the "Albany Plan of Union." This document later served as a model for the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution of the United States. The problem is that part of what you and I learned in our own childhood about the "Pilgrims" and "Squanto" and the "First Thanksgiving" is a mixture of both history and myth
Research Starters: Plymouth Colony
Puritans Followers of Puritanism; English Protestants of the 1600s who believed the English Reformation (accomplished by King Henry VIII in the 1530s) had not gone far enough in reforming the doctrines and structure of the Church of England.

But Plymouth grew, and when they were overwhelmed by the migration of 20,000 Puritan settlers a few years later, open war between the settlers and neighboring tribes ensued. You might have heard the name of their ship, the Mayflower, but do you know where it landed? (Hint: it wasn't Plymouth Rock!) Let's talk about the people called the Pilgrims, their settlement, and the neighbors who saved their lives
THE REAL STORY OF THANKSGIVING
Later Abraham Lincoln decreed Thanksgiving Day to be a legal national holiday during the Civil War -- on the same day he ordered troops to march against the starving Sioux in Minnesota. Nor were they invited out of the goodness of the Pilgrims' hearts to share the fruits of the Pilgrims' harvest in a demonstration of Christian charity and interracial brotherhood
Finally, in 1880, at the same time that an America torn asunder by the Civil War was stitching itself back together, the top of Plymouth Rock was returned to the harbor and reunited with its base. Given all the whittling and the accidents, Plymouth Rock is estimated to be only a third or half of its original size, and only a third of the stone is visible, with the rest buried under the sand
The Straight Dope: Did the Pilgrims land on Plymouth Rock because they ran out of beer?
You may inquire: What sort of idiot would sail across the north Atlantic at the height of storm season? The voyagers probably asked themselves the same question. "As this calamity fell among the passengers that were to be left here to plant, and were hasted ashore and made to drink water that the seamen might have the more beer, and one in his sickness desiring but a small can of beer, it was answered that if he were their own father he should have none" (Bradford, History of Plymouth Plantation, circa 1650)
