Image Set 1B: Samoset at Plymouth
This book engraving of Samoset meeting with the Pilgrims was published in 1853. Samoset was an important chief of the Abenaki tribe. He was the first Native American to meet the Pilgrims at Plymouth colony. Through his efforts, the Pilgrims and Native Americans established a trading relationship. (Newsela)
Alfred R. Waud illustrated this image of Samoset first arriving at Plymouth colony. The illustration first appeared in the 1876 book "Popular History of the United States, from the First Discovery of the Western Hemisphere by the Northmen to the End of the Civil War." The Pilgrims were surprised by Samoset's English, which he had learned from a group of fishermen. (Newsela)
