Myles Standish (c. 1584 – October 3, 1656) was an English military officer and early American colonist. He was hired by the Pilgrims as military adviser for the Plymouth Colony and sailed with them aboard the Mayflower in 1620 to establish what became the first permanent English settlement in New England.
