"Thanksgiving is here, and according to my annual custom, I offer another chapter of Pilgrim history. You remember that we learned in school about Samoset, the Indian who appeared in Plymouth soon after the Pilgrims had settled in. They were surprised that he greeted them in English. He had learned the language from English fishermen on the coast of Maine, his original home. After visiting with the Pilgrims. Samoset informed the Wampanoag sachem Massasoit that the Pilgrims wished to make peace with the neighboring tribes."
