{"product_id":"the-wordy-shipmates-1","title":"The Wordy Shipmates","description":"In this New York Times bestseller, the author of Lafayette in the Somewhat United States \"brings the [Puritan] era wickedly to life\" (Washington Post).\n\nTo 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.\n\nVowell 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.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1594484007\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1594484007.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Vowell, Sarah\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43373945946173,"sku":"BVV.1594484007.VG","price":5.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/1594484007-0_291ec50d-d8d4-42d9-b1a2-5c298260bad6.jpg?v=1784582402","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/the-wordy-shipmates-1","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
