From what I remember of my history classes hygiene, particularly bathing, was really, really fucking bad among white settlers at the time and one way to tell that one of the whites was adopting the Native American's way of life (Much to the consternation and racist views of their fellow whites) was that the person was a lot cleaner suddenly.

"I can't smell you from 40 paces! You heathen!"

Apparently not bathing was a societal reaction to the bubonic plague.

But take what I know with a grain of salt because American School History classes are phenomenally bad.
