Standish came over on the <em>Mayflower<\/em>, and commanded the militia of the Plymouth Pilgrims in the 1620s; Church lived his whole life in the New World, and led the crack troops that tracked down Metacomet, <em>sachem<\/em> of the Pokanoket Wampanoag, during King Philip&#8217;s War in the 1670s. Standish carried an elegant German rapier, while Church used a simple naval cutlass. What changed? And what story can these two swords tell about the men who wielded them?<\/p>\n<p>Support Atun-Shei Films on Patreon \u25ba <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/atunsheifilms\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/atunsheifilms<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Leave a Tip via Paypal \u25ba https:\/\/www.paypal.me\/atunsheifilms (Between now and October, all donations made here will go toward the production of The Sudbury Devil, our historical feature film)<\/p>\n<p>#PlymouthPilgrims #KingPhilipsWar #AmericanHistory<\/p>\n<p>Watch our film ALIEN, BABY! free with Prime \u25ba <a href=\"http:\/\/a.co\/d\/3QjqOWv\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/a.co\/d\/3QjqOWv<\/a><br \/>\nReddit \u25ba <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/atunsheifilms\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/atunsheifilms<\/a><br \/>\nTwitter \u25ba <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/atun_shei\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/atun_shei<\/a><br \/>\nInstagram \u25ba https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/atunsheifilms<br \/>\nMerch \u25ba <a href=\"https:\/\/atun-sheifilms.bandcamp.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/atun-sheifilms.bandcamp.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>~REFERENCES~<\/p>\n<p>[1] Jeremy Dupertuis Bangs: \u201cMyles Standish, Born Where?
