The Scout's Account — Paul Brodeur

The Scout's Account tells the story of a young Wampanoag warrior named Squeteague who is sent by his sachem to observe the landing of the Mayflower at Cape Cod in 1620. From the age of 16 until his death, Squeteague takes part in many key events in colonial American history. Paul Brodeur was a staff writer for the New Yorker for nearly forty years.
