Synopsis

"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.

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
     
    In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
     
    The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
     
    Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
     
    A new century dawns, one in which America would become pre-eminent as its industrial might and military power rose above all others.  In literature too its authors tackled new forms and new ideas, they shied away from little, immersing themselves and their readers in the promise of a new Century.
