The Wickedest Pilgrim - Paperback

by Donald Barr Chidsey (Author)

In Plymouth harbor, a seaman rowed out to board his ship in the midnight dark. Shore leave had been very wet and he slept soundly on deck--they weren't too fussy on a pirate ship.

In the morning light, the surroundings looked strange and Sal found himself among peculiar people. He had boarded, by mistake, a ship known to history as the Mayflower, on her foyage to the New World.

How a blunt-spoken, hard-drinking, and hard-fighting pirate adjusted himself to life with the Pilgrims, after first bloodying Elder Brewster's nose; how he admired a girl named Priscilla Mullins and came to blows with a rival suitor, named John Alden; how he helped Captain Standish defend the young colony against the Indians--all this is told in one of the livelist of all Donald Barr Chidsey's gay and amusing yet realistic hisorical yarns.
