Quotation from Of Plymouth Plantation by William Bradford
“was a spetiall instrument sent of God for their good beyond their expectation. He directed them how to set their corne, wher to take fish, and to procure other comodities, and was also their pilott to bring them to unknowne places for their profitt, and never left them till he dyed.”
Of Plymouth Plantation, After the peace with Massasoyt (1898 Wright & Potter official manuscript edition)
Bradford names Tisquantum, whom he calls Squanto, as God’s instrument for the colony’s good, and he records both the teaching and the companionship until death.
