Abstract
Squanto or Tisquantum, a Patuxet Indian from near Plymouth, Massachusetts, is familiar to a majority of readers who are acquainted with the story of the Pilgrims.1 Edward Channing, R. V. Coleman and other historians have shown that Squanto's contributions in teaching the colonists to plant corn, to catch fish, and to obtain furs were important to the survival and prosperity of early Plymouth Colony.z Equally important, but not so commonly described or evaluated, are Squanto's earlier travels to the Old World and his work as guide, interpreter, and diplomat for the Whites in the New World.
