In 1605, Captain George Weymouth led an expedition on behalf of some merchants in England, to look at the resources of North America, particularly the Canadian and New England areas. He sailed down the coast of Maine into Massachusetts, where he stopped. Thinking his financial backers in England would be interested in seeing some Indians, he decided to bring some back with him. They kidnapped two Indians in a very brutal manner. He had gotten three other Indians to take back to England but he used bribery with them by giving them a can of peas and bread, and showed them kind treatment till the one of them was delighted in the expedition company.
That Indian was most likely Tisquantum ((Squanto)).
