MA88ASOIT.
It was the deed of winter in 1621.
The handful of hardy English "pil
grims" who had landed a few month*
earlier at Plymouth Kock war# utrug
gllng to keep body and mouI together
In the bleak Massachusetts climate.
Their provision* were scanty, their
dwellings rude and Insufficient. Their
prosptfiU ot xnalfltttlnlng HXe flea, that
desolate, cold coast seemed worse
than doubtful. 'Ilud tho bravest, most
hopeful ot them all been told that the
wretched little colony would grow and
flourish until it should one day become
the bulwark of American liberty ? he
would have laaghed the Idea to scorn.
Or, rather ? aa the pilgrim fathers
frowned upon such idle Joys a* laugh
ter ? he would moro probably have had
the rash prophet clapped into the
stocks.
"Welcome, Englishmen!"
The pilgrims' worst fears were of
an Indian raid. The enmity of the
savages, they knew, would be the fore
most barrier In the way of their col
ony's prosperity and permanent life.
Bo, when, one day, during that first
bitter winter, an Indian advanced from
the forest toward a group of busy
Plymouth settlers, they grasped their
muskets lu alarmc Their fear changed
to amaBment as the savage halted
and called to them In perfect English:
"Welcome, Englishmen 1" '
The native. Bamoset by name, had
picked up the words from certain Pe
nobscot fishermen. He went on to
say that he waa a messenger from the
great Indian /^fng, Maasaaoit, rulor
of the confederacy, of Wampanong
tribes, and tl^at be. brought from his
royal master assurances of peace aad
friendship.
A snort time afterward ? March 15,
1621 ? Massasolt himself with 60 "war
riors drew near to the colony. The
king was ready to greet the white men
as friends, but was equally ready. In
case of hostile demonstrations on
their part, to destroy them. Thus,
though he bore food and furs with
him, yet he and hie braves were
armed and In full warpaint. Edward
Wlnslow, a delegate from the pil
grims, went forward to meet Massa
Bolt. A little behind Wlnslow followed
C^pt Miles Standlsh with a handful
of musketeers, ready to fire into the
clump of Indians at the first sign of
treachery. Wlnelow laid presents be
fore the royal visitor, then consented
to remain behind as hostage for Mau
8asolt's safety while the Bavage king,
with 20 of his men, went with Stan
dlsh to a hut where Governor Carver
of the colony waited to receive him.
There a solemn peace treaty be
tween Massasolt and the colonists was
drawn up and sworn to. This was tho
first diplomatic document recorded In
New England. Nor did the king ever
break his word. He made his sub
jects keep peace with the English, and
helped them vrlthh generous gifts of
oorn and meat indeed, had his atti
tude toward the pilgrims been differ
ent the colony might well have per
ished. As it was, the rigors of climate
and hunger were not Aggravated In
those early years by fear of Indian In
vasion.
Massasolt was born in Massachu
setts about 1680. He was hereditary
king of the Wampanoags and ruled a
territory that stretched from Cape
Cod to Narragansett Bay. His people
had numbered about 30,000. But short*
ly before the landing of the pil
grims at Plymouth in 1620 a terrible
epidemic (supposed to have been yel
low fever) swept the land, leaving
barely 300 of the 30,000 Indians alive.
A colonial writer described Massasolt
as "a portly man ki hfs best years,
grave of countenanoe and spare of
speech." His kindness to the English
settlers was due to natural goodness
of heart and not to fear. America
owes him a heavy debt, a debt which
the early New Englanders met by
tricking the friendly, unsuspicious
king and his people out of thousands
of square miles of land.
Twice 8aves Colony.
In the summer of 1621 an embassy
from the pilgrims visited Massasolt
near Narragansett Bay. He received
them In a soar let hunting coat and a
huge gilt chain ? part of the presents
Carver had sent him ? and renewed
his pledgee of friendship. Again In
1628, when Massasoit lay 111, Wlnslow
visited him and tried to cure him by
means of such simple remedies as he
knew. Out of gratitude the king told
Wlnslow of a plot another tribe of In
dians had formed to massacre the set*
tiers. By this timely waning he
again saved the colony. In 1684 when
l Roger Williams fled from Puritan per
secution In Massachusetts the king
received him ss an honored guest and
I for weeks gave the great philanthro
pist shelter and refuge.
Massasolt died In 1-660. And with
his death fled the last hope of peaoe
between Indians and Massachusetts
colonists. Its son. King Philip (whose
career has been described In an ear*
ller article), became the settlers' dead*
ly foe. The bonds of peaoe sealed by
Massasoit and the pilgrims were
ripped asunder In a series of wan thai
ended <foly whan the Indian power In
! New Wngfand was utt^jiy crushed.
