The Life and Times of Samuel Gorton is a biographical book written by Adelos Gorton. The book covers the life of Samuel Gorton, an English-born colonial American who was a controversial figure in the early history of Rhode Island. Gorton was a religious dissenter who challenged the authority of the Puritan leaders in Massachusetts Bay Colony and was subsequently banished from the colony. He then established a settlement in what is now Warwick, Rhode Island, where he became embroiled in a series of disputes with neighboring colonies and Native American tribes. The book provides a detailed account of Gorton's life, including his religious beliefs, his interactions with other colonial leaders, and his legal battles. It also explores the political and social context of the time, including the tensions between the English colonists and the Native Americans. Overall, The Life and Times of Samuel Gorton is a fascinating look at a little-known figure in early American history and the turbulent times in which he lived.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
