William Bradford en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Bradford_(governor)#:~:text=William%20Bradford%20(%20c.,on%20the%20Mayflower%20in%201620. Caught the moment. “Whilst we were busied hereabout, we were interrupted, for there presented himself a savage which caused an alarm. He very boldly came all alone and along the houses straight to the rendezvous, where we intercepted him, not suffering him to go on in, as undoubtedly he would, out of his boldness. He saluted us in English and bade us “welcome”.

What odds against the first word the Pilgrim Fathers met with in America, and from a “wild man,” being “welcome”? that having travelled three thousand miles and hit a spot on the continent they had not aimed for, they should be met in English?

The man who came out of the woods had picked up some words from English fishermen along the coast. But he was not the miracle. He introduced them to Tisquantum, abbreviated to Squanto, and it was Squanto who saved the settlement. He is a most important man in this chapter of the adventure of English ~ Page 147
