Answer the following question: What key details about myles standish can be extracted from the following bio? Bio: myles standish -lrb- c. 1584 -- october 3 , 1656 ; sometimes spelled ' miles ' standish -rrb- was an english military officer hired by the pilgrims as military advisor for plymouth colony . one of the '' mayflower '' passengers , standish played a leading role in the administration and defense of plymouth colony from its inception . on february 17 , 1621 , the plymouth colony militia elected him as its first commander and continued to re-elect him to that position for the remainder of his life . standish served as an agent of plymouth colony in england , as assistant governor , and as treasurer of plymouth colony . he was also one of the first settlers and founders of the town of duxbury , massachusetts . a defining characteristic of standish 's military leadership was his proclivity for preemptive action which resulted in at least two attacks -lrb- or small skirmishes -rrb- on different groups of native americans -- the nemasket raid and the wessagusset massacre . during these actions , standish exhibited considerable courage and skill as a soldier , but also demonstrated a brutality that angered native americans and disturbed more moderate members of the colony . one of standish 's last military actions on behalf of plymouth colony was the botched penobscot expedition in 1635 . by the 1640s , standish relinquished his role as an active soldier and settled into a quieter life on his duxbury farm . although he was still nominally the commander of military forces in the growing plymouth colony , he seems to have preferred to act in an advisory capacity . he died in his home in duxbury in 1656 at age 72 . although he supported and defended the pilgrim colony for much of his life , there is no evidence to suggest that standish ever joined their church . several towns and military installations have been named for standish and monuments have been built in his memory . one of the best known depictions of standish in popular culture was the 1858 book , '' the courtship of miles standish '' by henry wadsworth...
