"Thomas Morton & the Maypole of Merrymount: Disorder in the American Wilderness 1622-1647," produced in 1992 by Jack (John) Dempsey. Biographical study of early English-American colonist Thomas Morton (c.1576-1647), author of "New English Canaan" (1637)---whose learning, humor and tolerance, frontier skills and many-sided creativity enhanced his relations with Native New Englanders, while they in turn made his Massachusetts Bay plantation "Ma-re Mount" or "Merrymount" the most successful of its time on their "paradise" landscape. -from Youtube user 37Dionysos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2laBeBpt2Q&ab_channel=37Dionysos
