Talk:Samoset

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

According to the book The Greatest Stories Never Told, his first words to the Pilgrims were, "Greetings, Englishmen. Do you have any beer?" Although I consider this to be a reputable source (it's published by the History Channel, it could still use additional confirmation. --WikiMarshall 18:02, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

I've found no additional confirmation of that quote. He did ask for beer, but using that exact quote isn't necessary and might be inaccurate. It's said that his English was rather broken, so that quote seems unlikely.

I've added the exact source material that settles the 'Welcome/Beer' controversy. He did say something that was reported as a 'welcome' and it appears at a later time he did asked for some 'beer'. I believe he did not say ' Greetings Englishman, Do you have any beer?' as popularly reported. What do you think?Calixte 21:52, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plimoth vs Plymouth

The spelling 'plimoth' is from the source (1623 Mourt's Relation); please leave it alone. Thanks! Calixte

[edit] confusing?

This article is not confusing or poorly written... it is a meat and potatoes, no foolin' around, good piece of history writing. -comments??? Calixte
