She is generous as she wrestles with the moral intricacies of our nation's beginnings and how Puritan contradictions inform our sense of American exceptionalism today..."The Wordy Shipmates" is more than a punk-ish twist on our brave, verbose, tortured forebears, living in their new colony like 'an ashram in the woods.'"-"Cleveland Plain Dealer" "For those of us who'd rather harvest our history lessons from "The Simpsons" than the History Channel, Vowell is a latter-day hero...Fascinating."-"Elle" "Vowell...reads history with attitude, humor and sensitivity."-"Minneapolis Star-Tribune" "[Vowell exercises] her trademark sweet, silly, arch sense of the incongruous ways we memorialize the American past."-"Chicago Tribune" "[Vowell''s] a complex blend: part brilliant essayist, part pop-culture-loving comedian and a full-time unabashed history geek.
