When the British monarchy was restored in 1660, King Charles II was faced with the conundrum of what to with those who had been involved in the execution of his father eleven years earlier. Facing a grisly fate at the gallows, some of the men who had signed Charles I's death warrant fled to America.

Charles I's Killers in America traces the gripping story of two of these men -- Edward Whalley and William Goffe -- and their lives in America, from their welcome in New England until their deaths there. With fascinating insights into the governance of the American colonies in the seventeenth century, and how a network of colonists protected the regicides, Matthew Jenkinson overturns the enduring theory that Charles II unrelentingly sought revenge for the murder of his father.

Charles I's Killers in America also illuminates the regicides' afterlives, with conclusions that have far-reaching implications for our understanding of Anglo-American political and cultural relations. Novels, histories, poems, plays, paintings, and illustrations featuring the fugitives were created against the backdrop of America's revolutionary strides towards independence and its forging of a distinctive national identity. The history of the 'king-killers' was distorted and embellished as they were presented as folk heroes and early champions of liberty, protected by proto-revolutionaries fighting against English tyranny. Jenkinson rewrites this once-ubiquitous and misleading historical orthodoxy, to reveal a far more subtle and compelling picture of the regicides on the run.

quality, operation, installation, ink, etc
Style: WF-3823
Works fantastic, had no issues with it printing or anything yet. Still using the ink that came with it, and I have printed over 100 pages already. Easy to connect the wifi to it, delivered within two days. Only problem I had was trying to figure out how to set it up with my laptop as the instructions aren't very clear on that and if you go to the company page and try looking up the printer it don't show it on the company page at all including using the model etc. But ended up googling the printer information and was able to get clearer instructions on how to get it installed and connected. Otherwise no complaints at all, print quality is very good as well. I highly recommend as we mostly use it for homeschool. So we are using it alot and printing alot! I highly recommend. Not to big and not to small. I love it!

Another Great Epson Printer
Style: WF-3823
This was a great price for a printer that has shown itself to be good print speed and print quality. I have owned Epson printers for years, and this works wonderfully for both home use and small business use. The paper capacity is good, and the wireless connectivity is fine--no problems with that. The weight is good--not super lightweight, but certainly not too heavy as it can be carried and moved with ease. Overall it's great. I have not used the fax function, but all the other functions work fine.

Toss this printer away
Style: WF-3823
Less than a year old and it will not accept Espon print cartridges. I have googled and done everything possible to reboot the printer, but nothing is working

Huge Step Backwards
Style: WF-3823
Purchased this after my WF-3540 finally died. This is a disappointing step backwards in capability for the price. Printing is at best "fine". Getting good color matching / saturation has been a challenge but otherwise acceptable for general things like labels. Despite the confusing documentation (at the time of purchase), this does not do double-sided scanning. This makes using the ADF for multi-sided documents basically pointless. This will be my last Epson. UPDATE - Months have passed and I'm moving it from 2 to 1 star. The ink cartridges run out quickly and are expensive to replace. The ADF jams constantly on scan jobs. The paper pull from the main cassette pulls multiple pages at a time. On top of all that, when using this with a WiFi connection to your network only, the amount of times that it losses connectivity but thinks it is still connected is constant, and/or assigns itself a local IP address instead of getting one from DHCP results in having to cycle power to get it back working. Trash printer.
