The Courtship of Miles Standish

by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The Courtship of Miles Standish and Priscilla Mullins, and later the marriage of Priscilla Mullins and John Alden. It should be kept in mind that this is a fictional poem that was written in 1858, and not an historical document. The events that form the basis of this poem are, for the most part, entirely fictional.
