by Sarah Vowell.
A great read, as usual , from a witty and brilliant author and student of human character. I as aware of the larger historical pictures contained therein - but the anecdotes and personal touch made this book appealing. Like the fact that the John Carver Inn in Plymouth has a water slide emerging from a giant Mayflower replica? (added to the list of quirky "must sees" for this summer)
Also, good mention of Anne Hutchinson and Mary Dyer. Two unfortunate Quakers who contradicted the Puritans' sense of religious freedom with well, religious freedom.
