Another, from the incomparable Sarah Vowell, is The Wordy Shipmen. One of my favorites of her books.

"Shipmen" seems more appropriate, given Puritan restrictions on women and the fates of Anne Hutchinson and Mary Dyer.

IтАЩll never forget running across Mary DyerтАШs statue up by the state house. That story is indelibly printed in me.
