The early settlement of North America is the stuff legends are made of—John Smith, Myles Standish, and Pocahontas, to name a few. Learning about them is required reading from kindergarten on up.
Everyone knows the Pilgrims wouldn't have survived their first year at Plymouth Colony without help from the Native Americans. Squanto, an English-speaking member of the Patuxent tribe, taught them to plant corn and other crops and trap beaver.
