The Wordy Shipmates

Informative and usually entertaining, but nowhere near as good as Assassination Vacation or The Partly Cloudy Patriot.

Kind-hearted yet clear-eyed about her subjects - this is a humorous, wry, and hopeful look at a little slice of American history.

Saw Sarah in person last year. I have been on the wait list for this Audio CD since then at the Austin Library.

A good read, and clearly a subject very near & dear to Vowell's heart. I'm personally not that into the Pilgrims or 17th century history, but I was definitely on board for the ride. Less laugh-out-loud funny than some of her other work, but perhaps more engaged at linking America's past & present.
