Sarah Vowell: the Wordy Shipmates October 28, 2008

Vowell is the bestselling author of such gems as 'Assassination Vacation' and 'The Partly Cloudy Patriot,' as well as a contributing editor of NPR's 'This American Life.' Her newest book, 'The Wordy Shipmates,' does the practically impossible - it makes seventeenth century New England and its Puritan founders accessible and interesting to everyone.
