The book explores Standish's relationships with other historical figures, such as William Bradford and John Alden, as well as his interactions with the Native American tribes that inhabited the area.Jenks' writing style is descriptive and vivid, bringing to life the harsh realities of life in the 17th century. The book also touches on themes of love, loyalty, and sacrifice, as Standish navigates the challenges of building a new community in a foreign land.Overall, Captain Myles Standish is a well-researched and engaging historical novel that provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of America's earliest settlers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
