SQUANTO

I'm always grateful for the historical Oracle to fill in the blank spots in my lack of knowledge on history. As a brief adenda let me mention the one epic moment that I liked to repeat in my Thanksgiving sermons. Picture the huddled pilgrims in their wooden fort as a lone fierce looking Indian approaches and as they open the gate to allow him to come in he walks into the lodge and sits at the table and says in perfect English DO YOU HAVE ANY BRANDY? Like Joseph in the Old testament what the previous colonials intended for evil when they first enslaved Squanto turned out to be the Plymouth Rock colonials salvation for he, Squanto, was the one who showed them how to plant maze and squash and fertilize it with the abundance of the fish that was there and so the next year we had a true Thanksgiving feast. In The voice of Paul Harvey now you know the rest of the story. Good day.
