Maryland Historical Society, 2004 - 388 pages.

According to most histories, Richard Ingle and his ship Reformation terrorized the tiny settlements on the Chesapeake Bay in 1645-46, bringing the turmoil of the English Civil War to the New World. In this tale of deception, greed, and political intrigue, Riordan reveals evidence that revolution was brewing in Maryland with or without the influence of Ingle and his crew.
