Synopsis
The noted author and NPR commentator Sarah Vowell applies her special brand of history and social commentary to the age of the Puritans as well as to today. Vowell delves below the surface of the Puritan experience to find a fascinating social structure and psychological makeup. She knocks away tired old stereotypes and reexamines the standard, somewhat canned biographies of famous people such as Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson. Vowell traces key aspects of the Puritan character up through our times, pointing out just what and what is not Puritan-like in the American character. Her warts-and-all approach brings history to life, as THE WORDY SHIPMATES makes these early settlers seem almost modern.

The Wordy Shipmates

by Sarah Vowell

 (Paperback)

 

 about the book   

 Essayist and public radio regular Vowell (Assassination Vacation) revisits America's Puritan roots in this witty exploration of the ways in which our country's present predicaments are inextricably tied to its past. In a style less colloquial than her previous books, Vowell traces the 1630 journey of several key English colonists and members of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Foremost among these men was John Winthrop, who would become governor of Massachusetts. While the Puritans who had earlier sailed to Plymouth on the Mayflower were separatists, Winthrop's followers remained loyal to England, spurred on by Puritan Reverend John Cotton's proclamation that they were God's chosen people. Vowell underscores that the seemingly minute differences between the Plymouth Puritans and the Massachusetts Puritans were as meaningful as the current Sunni/Shia Muslim rift. Gracefully interspersing her history lesson with personal anecdotes, Vowell offers reflections that are both amusing (colonial history lesson via The Brady Bunch) and tender (watching New Yorkers patiently waiting in line to donate blood after 9/11). NOTE: BOOK IS BRAND NEW, NEVER READ,MINT CONDITION.

    A word about bidding: Shoppers are often disappointed when someone places a higher bid and wins an item in the very last seconds of an auction.  I've also heard from disgruntled bidders about being "locked out" of an auction before it closed because ebay was sluggish, or even down.

    There is a way to prevent this from happening to you!
    If you're like most people and are unable to sit by the computer screen to bid in the last minutes of every auction, the best prevention is to let eBay do your bidding! It is called "proxy bidding" and here is how it works: When you bid on an item, rather than placing the minimum bid, place a bid that represents the highest amount you're willing to pay for that item. YOUR BID WILL REMAIN AT THE LOWEST LEVEL unless someone bids against you...in that case, eBay's system will bid for you, automatically bidding to the next level necessary for you to be the highest bidder ...
    up to your limit you have set

    But if you like the excitement of sniping,
    HAVE AT IT! have fun! and enjoy the rush!
