To this day, America views itself as a Puritan nation, but Sarah Vowell investigates what that means-and what it should mean. What she discovers is something far different from what their uptight shoebuckles- and-corn reputation might suggest-a highly literate, deeply principled, and surprisingly feisty people, whose story is filled with pamphlet feuds, witty courtroom dramas, and bloody vengeance. Vowell takes us from the modern-day reenactment of an Indian massacre to the Mohegan Sun casino, from old-timey Puritan poetry, where \"righteousness\" is rhymed with \"wilderness,\" to a Mayflower-themed waterslide. Throughout, The Wordy Shipmates is rich in historical fact, humorous insight, and social commentary by one of America's most celebrated voices.","brand":"Sarah Vowell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48693757804835,"sku":"9781594484001","price":14.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0885\/5437\/3411\/files\/9781594484001_p0_v1_s600x595.jpg?v=1718572371","url":"https:\/\/glenthebookhouse.com\/products\/the-wordy-shipmates-sarah-vowell","provider":"BOOKDP4","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
