The Story Of The Pilgrims

By: Owen and Frieda 

A scouting party was sent out, and in late December the group landed at Plymouth Harbor, where they would form the first permanent settlement of Europeans in New England.The original settlers of Plymouth Colony are known as the Pilgrim Fathers, or simply as the Pilgrims. The Mayflower 3min.

The Pilgrims went to New England because there was no one there and they wanted freedom and a better life. It was hard for the Pilgrims to survive the were hungry there crops didn’t grow in time and it was very cold. The Pilgrims and Native Americans work together and the Native Americans taught the Pilgrims how to grow crops better and the ingredient was fish heads. What the would do is dig a hole put some fish head in the hole and put soil on top of the fish heads, and Then they would put their seeds in and there cover them up, Last the crops would grow faster.  

Mayflower arrived in New England on November 11,1620 after a voyage of 66 days. Although the Pilgrims had originally intended to settle near the Hudson River in New York, dangerous shoals and poor winds forced the ship to seek shelter at Cape Cod.The English ship the Mayflower carried the Separatist Puritans, later known as Pilgrims, to Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1620. The 180-ton vessel was about 12 years old and had been in the wine trade. It was chartered by John Carver, a leader of the Separatist congregation at Leiden, Holland
The native inhabitants of the region The around Plymouth Colony were the various tribes of the Wampanoag people, who had lived there for some 10,000i years before the Europeans arrived. Soon after the Pilgrims built their settlement, they came into contact with Tisquantum, or Squanto, an English-speaking Native American. If the Native Americans never what ofed helped the Pilgrims the Pilgrims never would of made it.
