What he found illuminated not only More's own life but painted a clear and satisfying picture of the way the First Comers, Saints and Strangers alike, set off for the new land, suffered the voyage on the Mayflower, and put down their roots to thrive on our continent's northeastern shore. From the story, Richard emerges as a man of questionable morals, much enterprise, and a good deal of old-fashioned pluck, a combination that could get him into trouble-and often did. He lived to father several children, to see, near the end of his life, a friend executed as a witch in Salem, and to be read out of the church for unseemly behavior. \u003ci\u003e Mayflower Bastard\u003c\/i\u003e lets readers see history in a new light by turning an important episode into a personal experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Lindsay\u003c\/b\u003e has previously published several books, including \u003ci\u003eThe Patent Files: Dispatches from the Frontiers of Invention\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMadness in the Making: The Triumphant Rise and Untimely Fall of America's Show Inventors \u003c\/i\u003e.
