Squanto

Squanto                                   *****
By Eric Metaxas 

I thought this was a great book telling the hardships of Squanto the Indian, who helped the pilgrims. Overall, there are some sad parts like when Squanto finally returns home from his hard struggles and finds out his tribe got sick and died. He is one of the famous Indians in Americas history, and the Pilgrims might not have survived without his and some other Indians help. I would recommend reading this story. I really liked it. It shows many things that really tell the life of an Indian. I hope you read and enjoy it!
