Book Overview

The ""Life Of Roger Williams: The Founder Of The State Of Rhode Island"" is a historical biography written by William Gammell and published in 1854. The book chronicles the life of Roger Williams, a prominent figure in American history who was instrumental in the founding of the state of Rhode Island. Williams was a Puritan minister who became disillusioned with the strict religious practices of his time and eventually broke away from the church to establish his own colony in Rhode Island. The book provides a detailed account of Williams' life, including his early years in England, his journey to America, his conflicts with other Puritan leaders, and his eventual establishment of a colony based on religious tolerance and freedom. Gammell's biography is considered to be one of the most comprehensive and authoritative works on the life of Roger Williams, and it remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in early American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
