  • Captain Myles Standish, (sometimes spelled Miles Standish) was an English military officer hired by the Pilgrims as military advisor for Plymouth Colony. Arriving on the Mayflower, he worked on colonial defense. On February 17, 1621, he was appointed the first commander of Plymouth Colony. Later, he served as Plymouth's representative in England, and served as assistant governor and as the colony's treasurer. He was also one of the founders of the town of Duxbury, Massachusetts (named after his ancestral seat at Duxbury Woods, Chorley) in 1632. Standish is often remembered for his bravery in battle and his reputation as the military captain of the Pilgrims, as well as a character in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's fictitious poem The Courtship of Miles Standish. The former Fort Standish, located on Lovell's Island, Massachusetts, was named in his honor, as was the town of Standish, Maine and Myles Standish state forest in Plymouth, MA.
  • Le capitaine Myles Standish (parfois écrit Miles Standish), est un officier anglais recruté par les Pères pèlerins comme conseiller militaire pour la colonie de Plymouth. Dès le débarquement du Mayflower, il s'affaira à l'organisation de la défense de la colonie. Le 17 février 1621, il était élu commandant de la colonie. Par la suite, il fut député de Plymouth auprès de la Couronne, et exerça les fonctions de gouverneur suppléant et de trésorier de la colonie. Il fut l'un des fondateurs de la ville de Duxbury (du nom de la terre ancestrale de Standish à Duxbury Woods, dans le district de Chorley) en 1632. Standish est fréquemment cité pour sa bravoure au combat, sa valeur en tant que capitaine de la milice des Pères Pélerins, ainsi qu'en tant que héros du poème de Henry Longfellow intitulé The Courtship of Miles Standish. L'ancien Fort Standish, sur Lovells Island dans le Massachusetts, a été baptisé ainsi en son honneur, de même que la ville de Standish dans l’état du Maine.
