Meet the soldier of Plymouth Colony.
Part 1, Voyage and Survival, follows Myles Standish from the Mayflower crossing to the first hard winter at Plymouth, where he and William Brewster cared for the sick, and to February 1621, when the colonists chose him as their military captain.
Part 2, Leadership and Consequences, tells the rest honestly: the 1621 agreement with Ousamequin (Massasoit), Squanto's help, the building of the fort, and the hard chapter of Wessagusset in 1623, including Pastor John Robinson's letter questioning the bloodshed. It closes by separating the documented record from Longfellow's famous poem.
Two full-color printable pages. Print at home or in class as often as you like.
Part of the Plymouth story alongside our William Bradford and Squanto comics and How Thanksgiving Became an American Holiday.
