Excerpts from bradfords_of_plymouth_plantation_with_text-dependent_questionsHank Maine
The Pilgrims had a difficult journey as they explored the coast by boat looking for a suitable place to settle. Their boat was damaged in rough weather and they nearly wrecked on rocks before finding shelter on an island overnight. The next day they explored further and found the area around Plymouth to be a potentially good location, with cleared land and fresh water. They returned happily to their ship to bring the rest of the settlers the good news of this site. Upon their initial exploration of the area, they encountered Squanto, a Native American who surprisingly spoke English and became an important early contact and guide for the Pilgrims.

The Pilgrims faced extreme hardship during their first winter in Plymouth colony from 1620-1621. Over half of the colonists died during this period, primarily from scurvy and other diseases contracted during the long voyage and from living in poor conditions without adequate housing or supplies.

In March, an Indian named Samoset introduced himself and helped the colonists communicate with Chief Massasoit, establishing a peace agreement between the Wampanoag tribe and the colony. The Pilgrims were further aided by Squanto, a native to the area who spoke English and helped them plant corn and find other resources.
