| Summary | "Soldier Rigdale: How He Sailed in the Mayflower and How He Served Miles Standish" by Beulah Marie Dix is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This narrative focuses on young Miles Rigdale, who embarks on the historic journey aboard the Mayflower and later serves alongside the famous Captain Miles Standish. The book seems to delve into themes of adventure, childhood, and the early days of American colonization as experienced by its young protagonist. The opening of "Soldier Rigdale" introduces readers to Miles Rigdale, an eleven-year-old boy aboard the Mayflower, who feels confined and longs for adventure on land after weeks at sea. Rays of hope come when he hears tales of Indians and the land they have come to explore. However, his youthful curiosity leads him into trouble when he participates in dangerous antics with another boy, resulting in a near disaster aboard the ship witnessed by the ship's authorities. The narrative sets the stage for Miles’ character development—illustrating his carefree spirit, his conflicts with authority, and his aspirations to become a soldier, forming a captivating backdrop to the historical events surrounding the Mayflower's journey.
