History Department's Lorri Glover Co-writes Book
Lorri Glover, Lindsay Young Professor and Professor of History, co-wrote The Shipwreck that Saved Jamestown: The Sea Venture Castaways and the Fate of America, which appeared from Henry Holt in August of this year.
Historian James Horn described it this way: “In this gripping account of shipwreck, mutiny, perseverance, and deliverance, the epic story of the wreck of the Sea Venture and its consequences for the survival of Jamestown, England's first successful colony in the New World, is told for the first time. Glover and Smith persuasively make the case that in saving themselves, the 150 castaways stranded for nearly a year on the remote island of Bermuda ultimately saved English America.”
