Mary Rowlandson
[edit] Changes 29 October
Mary Rowlandson was not "the first American author". Anne Bradstreet precedes her. So I deleted that sentence. I also noted a number of conflicts in fact in the article with what is stated in my source: the Anthology of American Literature. Where there was a direct conflict, i.e. that a colonial militia was pursuing the Indians rather than the English Army, I made the change. I left the original article text intact as much as possible, and added a few more noteworthy facts. I hope with our combined efforts the article has been substantially improved. -Dan Quigley
[edit] book sales
According to Susan Faludi in a book review in the NYT 7 Sept. 2007, MR's book went through four printings and was America's 'first best-seller.' Could someone check if this is true - and if so incorporate it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.225.34.159 (talk) 02:10, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
