EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the strong and resolute visage of Josiah Winslow (1629-1680), the first native-born commander of the army in America and the son of the esteemed Governor Edward Winslow of Plymouth Colony. Born in Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1629, Josiah Winslow grew up amidst the rich history and challenges of the New World. As a young man, Winslow distinguished himself through his military prowess and leadership abilities. In 1653, he was appointed as the commander of the militia in Plymouth Colony, a position he held for over three decades. During King Philip's War (1675-1676), Winslow led the colonial forces against the Wampanoag tribe, playing a crucial role in the defense of the Plymouth Colony. Despite his military duties, Winslow also made significant contributions to the civil administration of the colony. He served as a deputy to the General Court, the legislative body of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and was a vocal advocate for the rights of the Plymouth settlers. This portrait, likely painted in the late 17th century, offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable figure in American history. With his stern gaze and military attire, Winslow exudes a sense of determination and resolve, reflecting the challenges and triumphs of his time as a leader in the New World. Josiah Winslow's legacy as a native-born commander of the army and a dedicated public servant continues to inspire generations of Americans. This portrait serves as a powerful reminder of his important role in the early history of our nation.
