"There on the flowers of the meadow the warriors lay, and above them,
Silent, with folded arms, stood Hobomok, the friend of the white man;
Smiling, at length he exclaimed to the stalwart Captain of Plymouth :
'Pecksuot bragged very loud, of his courage, his strength, and his stature,
Mocked the great Captain, and called him a little man; but I see now
Big enough have you been to lay him speechless before you!'"

Miles Standish was represented by C. F. Muntz, the two soldiers by Otto Kunze and Hans DeWitt, Hobomok by Max Kammler, and the dead Indians by Emil Bley and George P. Sessler.
