Abstract: A bi-Hamiltonian hierarchy of quaternion soliton equations is derived from geometric non-stretching flows of curves in the quaternionic projective space $H{P}^n$. The derivation adapts the method and results in recent work by one of us on the Hamiltonian structure of non-stretching curve flows in Riemannian symmetric spaces $M=G/H$ by viewing $H{P}^{n}simeqmU(n+1,H)/mU(1,H)imesmU(n,H)simeqmSp(n+1)/mSp(1)imesmSp(n)$ as a symmetric space in terms of compact real symplectic groups and quaternion unitary groups. As main results, scalar-vector (multi-component) versions of the sine-Gordon (SG) equation and the modified Korteveg-de Vries (mKdV) equation are obtained along with their bi-Hamiltonian integrability structure consisting of a shared hierarchy of quaternionic symmetries and conservation laws generated by a hereditary recursion operator. The corresponding geometric curve flows in $H{P}^n$ are shown to be described by a non-stretching wave map and a mKdV analog of a non-stretching Schrodinger map.
