Summary: "Early Explorers of Plymouth Harbor, 1525-1619" by Henry F. Howe is a historical account published in the mid-20th century. This book explores the maritime history of Plymouth Harbor before the arrival of the Pilgrims, revealing that at least twenty recorded expeditions had come to the coast of Massachusetts long before 1620. The likely topic centers around the various European explorers, including Spanish, French, Dutch, and English, who navigated the New England coastline, their encounters with the Native Americans, and the impact of these early explorations on the eventual establishment of settlements. The book charts the voyages and experiences of explorers such as Estevan Gomez, Giovanni da Verrazano, Samuel de Champlain, and Captain John Smith, detailing their interactions with the Native populations, the flora and fauna they encountered, and their trading activities. It illustrates how the explorers, driven by ambitions of commerce and colonization, contributed to the maritime knowledge of the region, paving the way for the Pilgrims' successful settlement at Plymouth. Notably, it discusses the pivotal role of figures like Squanto, who, after surviving European kidnapping and education, became an essential ally to the Pilgrims as their interpreter. Howe emphasizes that although the Pilgrims are often seen as the first settlers, their success was built upon the groundwork laid by earlier explorers and traders.
