Product Information

In the spring of 1621, Plymouth Colony sent STEPHEN HOPKINS to make the first visit to Wampanoag sachem Massasoit to present a red horseman's coat as a gift and sign of friendship. For most ordinary Englishmen, venturing off into the depths of unexplored America would have been a once in a lifetime adventure: but not for Stephen. By the time he turned forty, he had already survived a hurricane, been shipwrecked in the Bermuda Triangle, been written into a Shakespearean play, witnessed the famine and abandonment of Jamestown Colony, and participated in the marriage of Pocahontas. He was once even sentenced to death He got himself and his family onto the Pilgrims' Mayflower, and helped found Plymouth Colony. He signed the Mayflower Compact, lodged the famous Squanto in his house, participated in the legendary Thanksgiving, and helped guide and govern the early colonists. Yet Stephen was just an ordinary man, with a wife, three sons, seven daughters, a small house, some farmland for his corn, and cows named Motley, Sympkins, Curled, and Red. These are the extraordinary adventures of an ordinary man.

Summing up the end while leaving the contents to take you there.
Wrapped around Steve Hopkins. One of the settlers on the Mayflower and some of his experiences the decade before. The read moves along quite well.

Here Shall I Die Ashore: Stephen Hopkins: Bermuda Castaway.....
This book clarifies a number of things about the life of Stephen Hopkins, clearing up previously accepted facts. It reads reads and flows well. As a descendant of Stephen Hopkins (the subject of the book) I enjoyed it thoroughly.
