This book explores the life and career of Benjamin Furly, a prominent Quaker merchant and philanthropist who played a pivotal role in the development of German immigration to the American colonies. The author draws on a wealth of primary sources, including Furly's extensive correspondence and personal papers, to present a nuanced portrait of a man who was at once an active participant in the religious and political controversies of his time and a tireless advocate for the rights and freedoms of others. Furly's work as an agent for William Penn, sponsoring the immigration of German and Dutch settlers to Pennsylvania, is examined in detail, shedding light on the motivations and challenges involved in founding a new colony. The book also delves into Furly's personal beliefs, his involvement in literary circles, and his unwavering commitment to religious tolerance and social justice.
