1621 – The first Indian appears to colonists in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
An unidentified Pilgrim had gone out fowling and, near a creek about a mile and
a half from the plantation, twelve Indians passed near the place he was hiding.
He rushed back to Plymouth and raised the alarm. Myles Standish and Francis
Cooke, who had been working in the woods when the alarm went out, rushed back
to the little community, leaving their tools behind them. The colonists armed
themselves and went back to the place where the Indians had been seen, but
found none. In the evening, the men built a great fire near the place where the
Indians had been seen.
