Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Shakespeare had lain in his grave four years, and John Milton was a schoolboy of twelve, when Mary Chilton tremblingly leapt from the Mayflower´s pinnace at Cape Cod, and fluttered on to America´s rocks like a dove from a new ark. Among the sturdy bigots who had rowed her to the shore, and allowed her to be first of the Puritans to land in the New World, was John Alden: of the company there was also a Yorkshire lass named Priscilla Mullens, whom John Alden coveted for a wife; and he got her. It was this same Priscilla Mullens who really uttered the artless rejoinder, "Why don´t you speak for yourself, John?" that is used with such effect in the story of "Miles Standish." In the latter half of the eighteenth century a descendant of Mr. and Mrs. Alden figured in Portland, Maine, as General Peleg Wadsworth, - upright, bustling, big-built, one who had been among the first to rise in revolution, when "was fired the shot heard round the world," and one who in old age could show wounds and tell many stories brought from the earliest of American battle-fields.
