Sinopsis

"Soldier Rigdale: How He Sailed in the Mayflower and How He Served Miles Standish" is a historical novel that intricately weaves fact and fiction to narrate the gripping tale of Rigdale, a fictionalized character who embarks on the perilous journey aboard the Mayflower and later serves under the legendary Miles Standish. Beulah Marie Dix employs a vivid and evocative literary style that blends rich descriptions with authentic period dialogue, immersing the reader in the trials and tribulations of early colonial life. Set against the backdrop of the early 17th century, the book serves as both a compelling narrative and a thoughtful exploration of the themes of courage, loyalty, and the quest for freedom that echoed through the early days of American history. Beulah Marie Dix was an accomplished author and an advocate for social reform in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Her interest in the lives of early American settlers and her deep-rooted commitment to social justice likely inspired her to craft this tale, highlighting the challenges faced by those who sought a new life in uncharted territory. Dix'Äôs historical knowledge and her ability to highlight the human experience in times of adversity contribute to the authenticity of her characters and their journeys. This book is recommended for readers who are passionate about historical narratives and the early American experience. Dix'Äôs engaging prose and well-researched context will appeal to both history buffs and casual readers alike, offering a fresh perspective on the iconic saga of the Mayflower voyage and the indomitable spirit of its passengers.

    The very first sci fi, written at the height of people making stuff up and pretending it was history (looking at you, Herodotus). Nice to see the art of the spoof is so old...A True Story (Ancient Greek: Ἀληθῆ διηγήματα, Alēthē diēgēmata; Latin: Vera Historia or Latin: Verae Historiae), also translated as True History, is a long novella or short novel written in the second century AD by the Syrian author Lucian of Samosata. The novel is a satire of outlandish tales that had been reported in ancient sources, particularly those that presented fantastic or mythical events as if they were true. It is Lucian's best-known work.It is the earliest known work of fiction to include travel to outer space, alien lifeforms, and interplanetary warfare. It has been described as "the first known text that could be called science fiction". However, the work does not fit into typical literary genres: its multilayered plot and its characters have been interpreted as belonging to science fiction, fantasy, satire or parody, and have been the subjects of scholarly debate.- From the wiki:
