William Bradford (1590 – May 9, 1657) was a leader of the separatist settlers of the Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts, and was elected Governor of the Colony for 15 two-year terms. He was the second signer and primary architect of the Mayflower Compact. He also wrote another one after the first one had been destroyed. His journal (1620-47), published as Of Plymouth Plantation, is perhaps the greatest book of 17th Century America. Bradford is credited as the first to proclaim what popular American culture now views as the first Thanksgiving.
Myles Standish (c. 1584 - October 3, 1656), was an English-born professional soldier hired by the Pilgrims as military advisor for Plymouth colony. Arriving on the Mayflower, he worked on colonial defense. Later, he served as Plymouth's representative in England, and served as assistant to the governor and as the colony's treasurer. He was also one of the founders of the town of Duxbury, Massachusetts (named after his ancestoral seat at Duxbury Woods, Chorley) in 1632. On February 17, 1621, he was appointed the first commander of Plymouth colony.
Myles 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.

Homework is a discomfort interior the ***, whether that's worth it and the implications of no longer doing it are low grades, low self-worth, hating college, indignant mom and dad, and awkwardness around instructors. the suitable factor to do is do basically the homework. do no longer attempt to think of, "I shouldn't..." or doubt your self - do basically it! you need to be clever approximately it, do the homework that's maximum extreme first, bypass away the little issues for final, take usual breaks, no eating together as working as that's distracting, NO television until you're thoroughly carried out.
