“Siri, why am I not getting a GPS signal in this time?”
I just share it as one of those astonishing facts. Tisquantum’s story is fascinating, and sad. He was abducted into slavery by a ship captain, taken to Spain, then his freedom bought by some Franciscan friars, who educated him. He was able to make his way back home, only to find that his entire tribe had been wiped out by disease. That’s how he was able to greet the Pilgrims in English.
Maps you bring with you from the present should still be pretty useful, as long as they’re topographical maps as opposed to road maps. And as long as you’re not going deep into geologic time, of course.
