Illustrated capital Above the Green is Watson’s Hill, now covered with houses. This was the “Cantauganteest” of the Indians, one of their favorite resorts where they had their summer camps, and on the level below planted their corn. It is famous as the opening scene of the treaty with Massasoit, made April 1, 1621. Gov. Bradford had a tract of land assigned him here on which to raise corn, and to this day portions of the hill remain in the Bradford name and others of direct descent from him. WATSON’S HILL. |
