The Courtship of Miles Standish

Set against the rugged backdrop of early colonial America, “The Courtship of Miles Standish” is a tale of love, loyalty, and unexpected heroism. When the brave but blunt Captain Standish asks his shy friend John Alden to woo the lovely Priscilla on his behalf, things don’t go as planned. With poetic grandeur and a dash of humor, Longfellow reimagines a legendary love triangle from the Mayflower era — a story where words weigh heavy, and a woman’s simple question, “Why don’t you speak for yourself, John?” changes everything
"The Courtship of Miles Standish" is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1880.
