A tall granite tower crowned by a bronze figure of a man in 17th-century dress stands on a low, scrub-covered hill. The printed caption names it the Myles Standish Monument at Duxbury, Massachusetts. The 116-foot granite shaft, completed in 1898 on Captain's Hill, commemorates Myles Standish, the English military officer who served as adviser to Plymouth Colony and settled in Duxbury in the 1630s. The statue at the top faces out over the coastal town and its bay, and the hilltop tower became Duxbury's best-known landmark.
