Myles Standish Interview

 * Tell us about your life in England or the Netherlands.**

The children stayed up listening to the wind .The food was hard biscuit, cheese, dried or salted meat, fish, oat meal, dried peas, and beans to eat. We couldn’t take showers for 66 days.Ughhh.All my wife did was complain. The bad storms blew us off Virginia to Connecticut. The water made the food damp and it made us really cold .Every time I went to the bathroom every body was near me.

.I was a solder to protect the Pilgrims I was a solder in war and to help make the new colony.
 * Why did you decide to go to the New World on the Mayflower?**

The voyage was horrible and the storm was horrible and a crack in the main beam made everyone scared that they would die. And the food was horrible we had to smack are biscuits on the floor to get all the bugs will come out.
 * What was that voyage like?**

England was different because the England had more fields. The New World had no roads or houses. We stayed on the ship because we didn’t know if it was safe or not. There were no savages in England. In the New World .I took a group of men and tried to see if there were Indians. And there were because we fired and we missed and scared them off. Then we started building houses. Ours weren’t big and especially if we had kids. The houses in England were made of stone and clay and the other was straw and trees.
 * How did the land and climate of Plimoth compare to what you were used to in England or the Netherlands?**


 * What was the first year like? What was hardest about adjusting to life in a new place**
