The Plymouth Pilgrims Engage in Diplomacy

The summer of 1621 brings new discoveries and loss to the Plymouth Colony.  The colony sends delegations to communicate and negotiate peace with neighboring villages.  With Squanto and other guides, the Pilgrims are informed of who to trust (and not trust).  The colony is not without loss as Governor Carver dies, leading to the beginning of William Bradford's historic term.     Read “Of Plimouth Plantation”:  https://www.amazon.com/Plymouth-Plantation-Modern-English/dp/1720937567/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=Of+Plimouth+Plantation&qid=1623594189&sr=8-3  Read Mourt’s Relation by Edward Winslow: http://www.histarch.illinois.edu/plymouth/mourt2.html http://www.histarch.illinois.edu/plymouth/mourt3.html  http://www.histarch.illinois.edu/plymouth/mourt5.html  Read the Peirce Patent: http://www.histarch.illinois.edu/plymouth/piercepat.html  More on John Carver: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Carver_(Plymouth_Colony_governor)  Winslow Image Courtesy By School of Robert Walker - From the collection of the Pilgrim Hall Museum, Plymouth, MA, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=1398857  Fife and Drum by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3748-fife-and-drum License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
