Is nothing sacred? Tom, better cancel those indian outfits. The
History Channel will be airing "The Untold Story of the Mayflower"
on Nov 19. It is going to shatter some legends with facts. For
instance,
How did even that many survive? In his history of Plymouth Colony,
Governor William Bradford himself provides one answer: robbing
Indian houses and graves. The Mayflower hove to first at Cape Cod.
An armed company of Pilgrims staggered out. Eventually they found a
deserted Indian habitation. The newcomershungry, cold, sickdug
open burial sites and ransacked homes, looking for underground
stashes of food. After two days of nervous work, the company hauled
ten bushels of maize back to the Mayflower, carrying much of the
booty in a big metal kettle the men had also stolen. "And sure it
was God's good providence that we found this corn," Winslow
wrote, "for else we know not how we should have done."
Will Keady get the blame for this? The WASPS in Ocean Township are
going to have a sh*tfit!
