Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of the Pilgrims A desire to know more of a story than these lessons gave, was another valuable result. For this desire on the part of the children to see a story in its natural setting, and to know what came before and what followed after, showed that they had reached the period which is a happy time for laying a strong foundation upon which to build later work; a. Time in which the awakened interest in people and events should be used to establish a firm basis for future reading and study in both biography and history. The Pilgrim Stories as originally written were read in a number of schools with the same satisfactory results. Now, carefully revised and graded in vocabulary, they are offered in book form with the hope that other pupils and teachers may use them with equal benefit and pleasure.

CHAPTER XIII THE CONSPIRACY T N the first year after they came to Plymouth, word was brought that the Indians were plotting against them. Squanto and another friendly Indian, called Hobomok, went to find out the truth. Presently Hobomok ran in with the news that Squanto had been captured. "I saw them in the wigwam of the chief," he said. "He was sharpening his knife to kill him. He said that Squanto was your tongue and that if he were dead you would no longer be able to speak. I broke away from them and escaped, and as I ran, I looked back and saw the chief holding a knife at Squanto's heart." "We must go at once," said Captain Standish; "it will never do to allow the Indians to think we are afraid." "But," said Mr. Allerton, "they are many and we are few." "For that very reason," said Standish, "we must go promptly and must show all courage. If they think us afraid, they will kill us with ease. I must have ten men and and we must start at once." They marched rapidly and surrounded the town. When the savages discovered them, they rushed around in great confusion and fear. The chief was not there, but Squanto they found in a wigwam, quite safe. So, firing a couple of volleys to frighten the inhabitants, they returned to Plymouth. In the second year at Plymouth a rattlesnake skin, stuffed with arrows, was brought into the town and left by an Indian. They were much at a loss to know what it meant. "Squanto," said Mr. Bradford, "what can this mean?" "It means war," said Squanto: "he challenges you to fight him. He is a great chief. His people are the Narragansetts and they live far from here, but they are very many, as many as the sands on the shore," and he pointed to the beach; "or the leaves on the trees," and he pointed to the forest....

Download or read book Pilgrim at Tinker Creek written by Annie Dillard and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Pulitzer Prize “The book is a form of meditation, written with headlong urgency, about seeing. . . . There is an ambition about her book that I like. . . . It is the ambition to feel.” — Eudora Welty, New York Times Book Review Pilgrim at Tinker Creek is the story of a dramatic year in Virginia's Roanoke Valley, where Annie Dillard set out to chronicle incidents of "beauty tangled in a rapture with violence." Dillard's personal narrative highlights one year's exploration on foot in the Virginia region through which Tinker Creek runs. In the summer, she stalks muskrats in the creek and contemplates wave mechanics; in the fall, she watches a monarch butterfly migration and dreams of Arctic caribou. She tries to con a coot; she collects pond water and examines it under a microscope. She unties a snake skin, witnesses a flood, and plays King of the Meadow with a field of grasshoppers. The result is an exhilarating tale of nature and its seasons.
