Barbm1020's review
of
Mayflower Bastard: A Stranger Among the Pilgrims:
"This book is nothing if not thorough, detailing the life and fortunes of Richard More, from cruel English relatives who didn't want to be responsible for him in childhood to his truly self-made status as a First Comer and wild card among the settlers"
