Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. In 17th century Massachusetts, a year before the arrival of the Puritans, the sole resident of the peninsula now known as Boston was the mysterious William Blackstone. An ordained minister of the Church of England, he had crossed the Atlantic seeking refuge from the religious oppression he had encountered in his homeland. When the Puritan colony arrived in 1630, Blackstone welcomed them into his home and generously shared his knowledge of the land. However, the Puritans' intolerance of those outside of their own faith made it difficult for him to live among them. Around 1641, Blackstone left Boston and settled near Roger Williams' colony in Providence, Rhode Island. The author compellingly portrays Blackstone's solitary life, chronicling his relationships with the colonists, Native Americans, and the land he called home. Through the author's exploration of Blackstone's personal journey, this book powerfully highlights the struggles and triumphs of religious freedom in early American history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
