[Description:] Here Shall I Die Ashore is the latest book by Mayflower scholar and historian Caleb Johnson, the researcher who actually discovered Stephen Hopkins' true English origins, and discovered the baptismal records of his children and the burial record for his first wife. Caleb is also the author of The Mayflower and Her Passengers, and editor of The Complete Works of the Mayflower Pilgrims, and William Bradford's Of Plymouth Plantation. Caleb's new book consists of a biography of Stephen Hopkins, who was one of the most interesting of the Mayflower passengers because he not only participated in the founding of Plymouth, but prior to that he had been shipwrecked in Bermuda, and lived in early Jamestown Colony, Virginia. In addition to the biography, this 270-page book also includes many of the original primary sources, including the two surviving accounts of the Bermuda shipwreck, and an an excerpt from a 1622-pamphlet describing Stephen's trek to visit Wampanoag sachem Massasoit. Plus, this work also includes two scholarly peer-reviewed journal articles on Stephen Hopkins from The American Genealogist, one written by Caleb himself, and the other written by Ernie Christensen.
