Captain Myles Standish is a historical novel written by Tudor Jenks and originally published in 1905. The book tells the story of Myles Standish, a military leader who played a key role in the early years of the Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts. The novel begins with Standish's arrival in Plymouth in 1620 on the Mayflower, along with the Pilgrims who had fled England in search of religious freedom. The book follows Standish's experiences as he helps to establish the colony, including his interactions with Native American tribes such as the Wampanoag and the Narragansett. Throughout the book, Standish is portrayed as a brave and resourceful leader who is fiercely loyal to his fellow colonists. He is also depicted as a complex and flawed character, struggling with issues of pride and jealousy, and occasionally making decisions that put him at odds with his fellow settlers. The novel is based on historical accounts of Standish's life, but Jenks takes some liberties with the story in order to create a more dramatic narrative. The book includes descriptions of battles and skirmishes, as well as moments of romance and intrigue. Overall, Captain Myles Standish is a vivid and engaging portrayal of one of the most important figures in early American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
