This striking linen-era postcard features the Statue of Massasoit, located on Cole's Hill overlooking Plymouth Rock in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The bronze statue, created by sculptor Cyrus Dallin and dedicated in 1921, honors the Great Sachem of the Wampanoag people. Massasoit is remembered for his critical role in maintaining peace with the Pilgrims, a partnership that ensured the survival of the Plymouth Colony in its earliest years.
