Myles Standish. For he was "the first military commander of our country and the greatest example of protection and preparedness that ever existed. The compact which he and his associates signed on board the Mayflower was the foundation of our form of government. The God fearing Pilgrims could Dot have existed wirhout the strong arm of Capt. Myles Standish." Sucli was the tribute paid to him recently by Major Myrick, captain of By UNct Awi; unmkwm StanduH'j Grave, .SoutH Duxbury, a mile by the sea side, they espied 5, or 6. persons with u dogg coming towards them, who were salvages." But t he Indians "rune up into the woods" and that tiiglit Standish and his men camped on the shore & set out their sentinels." On November 25, sixteen armed men, "everyone Ills Musket, the Ancient and Honorable Ariilleiy Company of Boston, in dedicating a Simple boulder in Duxhury. Mass., which marks the site of Myles Sian dishs home. Associated with him in dedicating the memorial and decorating the grave of the Pilgrim capiain nearby were Myles Standish, eighth lineal descendant of the colonial lead, er, Winthrop Winslow, a direct descendant of Captain Winslow, of the Pilgrims, and more Ilian a hundred members of the artillery company. The Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Boston was an offspring tf tlie Honorable Artillery Company of London, organized in England in 1537. It was founded in .New ling olli-cial- lit..-- . r''VyWi ,x-- : 5" , aKfesr the present United States army und the first colonial company which defended this country from the first Indian attacks. It is prohable that most Americans, when they think of Capt. Myles Ktan-flisat all, think of him In terms of Longfellow's famous poem, which is unfortunate for, ns a recent writer has Said The poet Longfellow has set an example 01 inaccuracy in dealing with Dur Pilgrim ancestors, which has been widely followed." Among those inaccuracies are first of all the spelling of his name, which was "Myles" and not Miles. as had it. and calling him a Puritan lender." There was a difference between the Sep h aratlsts. who called themselves and who founded the colony at Plymouth In 1020, and the Puritans" Who founded the Massachusetts Puy colony In 1030. More than that, Standish was not a member of the Separatist faith, hut he was a dissenter from the dissenters. But t he principal mistaken idea about the captain which the poet has given us Is In tils having Standish use young John Alden as his mouthpiece in wooing Priscilla Mullins. There is not a scintilla of evidence that the fearless capiain. who was small of stature and red headed, hut every Inch a soldier, had any desire to win the affections ot Priscilla Mullins, says the writer preIt seems too bad viously quoted. that so brave and unselfish a man as Standish was should now be pa faded before his descendants as a rejected suitor. He deserves a better fate. There seems to be considerable mys tery about the ancestry, religion and early life of Myles Standish. It Is he lieved that he was born about 1584. the scion of the Standish family of Duxbury hall In Lancashire, Eng. land. The name Is an ancient one and Froissart, describing the meeting between King Richard II and the rebel, Wat Tyler, at Smith field In 1381, tells how the latter was killed by a squyer of the kynges called John Standysshe, who was knighted for this act. This fur Dishes some historical basis for the words put In Myles Stundish's mouth by Longfellow that One of my ances tors ran his sword through the heart of Wat Tyler. s Origin of Lacrosse The game of lacrosse can trace Its origin to the Algonquin Indians, und Its name was first uttered by the S' Frenchman, Charlevoix, according to Donald W. White, writing in the Sportsman. Boston. When tlie explorer was ascending the St. Lawrence lie saw the game played by a tribe of Indians near (Jue bee. The stb-used In the game appeared tp him to be like a bishop's u Sword and Corslet. Under the command of Cuptaine Myles Standish," were sent ashore for a second exploration. They marched through what is now Province-townwhere they saw several Indians, followed their tracks about ten miles und spent the night in the woods. Three more expeditions were sent out later, and on the third near Nanskeket they were surprised by the Indians upon whom Standish fired, but the skirmish was slight. In February. 1021, Standish was made military captain. During that first terrible winter when disease wiped out half of the colony, among them his wife. Rose Standish, who died on January 21, it was to the ministrations of this fiery little fighting man and the gentle Elder Brewster that many of the sunivors owed their lives. But he was to prove his worth to the colony In many other ways, und to justify t lie statement that t He "Pilgrims could not have existed without t he strong arm of Capt. Myles Standish. In 1022 the planting' of a new settlement at Weymouth angered the Massachusetts Indians, who formed a plot to destroy not only these Englishmen hut the members of the Plymouth ci as well. The plot was betrayed by Massasoit and Standish with a force of only eight men marched to the relief of the settlement at Weymouth. Standish enticed the hostile chiefs, Pecksuot and Wituwamat. and a of the latter Into a room where the Indians were killed after a desperate fight, marking the first shedding of Indian blood by the Pilgrims. A general battle with the Indians followed but Standish and nls men routed the savages. The news of his battle spread terror among the Indians, and ns a warning against further depredations, the head of was cut off and exposed on a pole In Plymouth. In 1635 Standish led an unsuccessful expedition against the French who had driven a party of Plymouth men away from Penobscot, Maine. In addition to being tlie military leader of every exploit of importance In the colony, Stundish's counsel was often required in civil affairs. For many years he was treasurer of the colony, and in 1025. when the colony was in trouble with Its partners, the Merchant Adventurers, Standish was sent to England to seek relief, bearing a letter from Governor Bradford to the council of New England urging their intervention In behalf of the Pilgrims. On account of the plague in London, however, Standish could accomplish noth, land in 1038 by Robert Keayne, who had previously been a member of the London company. The only time in Its history in which it engaged in war as a unit was in 1045, wlnm it joined Myles Standish and his company in a campaign against the Indians, and today it is the only link which exists between a Stand ijh. Monument on Cantair'3 Hill, Duxbury ,!Ma5S. The association of the name of Duxbury with that of Standish is based upon authenticated copies of deeds of the Fourteenth century which show that Ralph de Dokesbury made over his Lancashire estates to his lawyer Ralph Standish, who took up the mortgages and thereby dispossessed the Dokesbury or Duxbury family. It Is significant that one of the later Pilgrim settlements, which became the home of Myles Standish, was named Duxhury. Within the last year the sale of Duxbory hall near Charley. Lancashire, recalled the fact that In 1840 descendants of Myles Standish in this country subscribed a large amount of money and sent an expert to tre.de the claim of their ancestor to this estate, of which It hns been asserted, he was unjustly deprived when he emigrated from England to America. In his youth Myles Standish entered the English army and served in the wars on the continent, thus furnishing the authority for Longfellow's having him tell about the sword of Damascus I fought with In Flanders" and the breastplate which once saved his life from a bullet Fired point-blanat my Just heart by a Spanish nreabueero. how Standish came to Join the Pilgrims is not known. He apparently was serving in the Netherlands when the Separatists went there from Eng- asserts land, and one historian that the .Merchant Adventurers, who financed the Pilgrim emigration to America, expecting them to settle In the region of Virginia, sent Standish as their salaried servant to defend them and teach them to defend them selves. At any rate, Standish Joined the Pilgrims at Leyden and sailed with them from Plymouth, England, In the Mayflower on September 16, 1020. Myles Standish was one of the sign ers of the Mayflower Compact on No. vember 11, 1020, for the government of the proposed colony, hut his military career did not begin until November 21, when the Mayflower was anchored In Cape Cod hay, and the captain with 15 men went ashore. When they had marched about the spare of crosier, and the name "la crosse" was suggested. As played by the Indians, lacrosse was almost a part of their religion.

After the death of his wife, Rose, married her younger sister, Barbara, and to them were bom four sons, Alexander, Myles, Josias and Charles, and a daughter, Lora. In 1632 Standish made his home at Duxhury on Captains hill. There he died on October 3, 1650. Today a tall monument stands on Captain's hill. On top of it Is the statue of a military figure, looking eastward. Its right hand, holding t he charter of the colony, Is extended toward Plymouth, its left rests upon a sheathed sword.
