Detailed explanation-1: -Squanto somehow escaped to England and joined the Newfoundland Company. He returned home in 1619 on his second trip back to North America only to find that his people had been wiped out by disease.
Detailed explanation-2: -What happened to Squanto? He is thought to have died in Plymouth Colony in November 1622 after contracting what William Bradford described as “Indian fever”.
Detailed explanation-3: -Squanto was born circa 1580 near Plymouth, Massachusetts. Little is known about his early life. In 1614, he was kidnapped by English explorer Thomas Hunt, who brought him to Spain where he was sold into slavery. Squanto escaped, eventually returning to North America in 1619.
Detailed explanation-4: -Here the tale gets fuzzy: In one version, Spanish monks enabled Squanto’s escape from Spain to England. In others, a ship captain took him from Spain to London and later Newfoundland, where he lived among the English for several years and learned the language.
