Lecture and Book Signing – Squanto: A Native Odyssey (Plymouth)

Plimoth Patuxet Museums is pleased to host Dr. Andrew Lipman (Associate Professor of History, Barnard College) as he launches his new book Squanto: A Native Odyssey. The Museum will host Dr. Andrew Lipman for an exciting lecture about his new book, followed by a book signing.
The book, which is set to release on September 17, 2024, will be celebrated at the Museum with public programs on Saturday, September 21, and Sunday, September 22. These special programs will shed light onto the research process and explore recent revelations about the historical figure Squanto (Tisquantum).
While American schoolchildren have long been taught about Squanto and his interactions with the English colonists known as the Pilgrims, Dr. Andrew Lipman’s book goes beyond holiday legend to provide a fuller examination of this important historical figure. Drawing from a wide range of evidence and newly uncovered sources, Dr. Lipman reconstructs Squanto’s upbringing, his transatlantic odyssey, his career as an interpreter, his surprising downfall, and his enigmatic death resulting in a fresh look at an epic life that ended right when many Americans think their story begins.
This program is free to members, included with general museum admission, or available as a stand alone ticketed program. Reserve Tickets Here.
