A Killing in Plymouth Colony by Carol Otis HurstMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
I'm a descendant of John Billington, the first white man hanged in the colonies for murder. Thankfully he made babies before dying. That's why I wanted to read this fictional account of the murder he committed, but this book was pretty bad. Lots of "telling" and not much action. It is pretty to easy to understand why not everyone liked Governor Bradford though--I'm sure he was self-righteous. Crazy that these people came over on a boat when not many knew how to survive. You'd think they would have stocked the boat with more stuff, like livestock, right?
