Like any other American educated in public schools, my youthful encounters with New England colonials focused on Plymouth in 1620 and Salem in 1692. Which is to say that I read The Crucible in eleventh grade and I participated in elementary school Thanksgiving pageants in which children wearing construction-paper Pilgrim hats linked arms with others wearing Indian costumes consisting entirely of gift-shop souvenir Sioux headdresses and sang “God Bless America” and “This land was made for you and me.” (excerpt) —Sarah Vowell in The Wordy Shipmates Salem in 1692 Day of Note: Arthur Millers play The Crucible opened on Broadway on this date in 1953 Read The Wordy Shipmates: Library via WorldCat.org: bit.ly/Wordy_Library Local Bookstore via IndieBound: bit.ly/LocalWordy Goodreads: bit.ly/GR_Wordy Barnes & Noble: hbit.ly/BaN_Wordy Amazon: amzn.to/1rbFo1t
