Accomack (Massachusetts, United States) (search for this): entry plymouth-new
Plymouth, New Universally known as the Plymouth Settlement, was founded by Pilgrims from Holland in 1620. Their first care on landing from the Mayflower was to build a rude fort and plant five cannon upon it which they had brought with them. Then they fell to building houses. Distributed into nineteen families, they all worked diligently until nearly all were prostrated by sickness. There were no delicacies for the sick and very little wholesome food. The sailors of the Mayflower had unkindly refused to let the passengers have a variety by sharing their own coarse food with them. At times that winter the huts at New Plymouth were half buried in snow-drifts. The Pilgrims trembled in fear of the surrounding Indians, but felt comforted by the voice of one of them as he went through the new village, crying, Welcome, Englishmen! Welcome, Englishmen! It was Samoset, who had learned a few English words from English sailors at Mohegan. He afterwards brought to New Plymouth Squa
