Classics Illustrated 092 The Courtship of Miles Standish and Evangeline

In 1620, a hardy band of pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. They had crossed the Atlantic Ocean on the good ship "Mayflower" to seek religious freedom in the New World. Amongst these voyagers were Miles Standish, John Alden and the beautiful Priscilla Mullins. Around these early American settlers, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, the immortal American poet has woven a moving and dramatic tale that has long been recognized as a classic of American literature.
