Including His Fast-Day Sermon, 1637, and His "Mercurius Americanus", 1645; With a Paper Upon the Genuineness of the Indian Deed of 1629, and a Memoir When the religious fervor crea ted by John Wheelwright and Anne Hutchison in the Massachusetts Bay Colony became politically troublesome for Governor Winthrop, he had them banished. Some historians believe that Winthrop used his influence among scholars and wealthy colonists to advance his version of events and minimize Wheelwright's popularity. To this day, some New England genealogical historians take sides. There are those who hold a Northern New England (Wheelwright) bias and those who hold a Massachusetts Bay Colony (Winthrop) bias. Bell presents Wheelwright's perspective in this work. Charles H. Bell (1876), reprint, index, 253 pp.ISBN: 9780788404818 101-B9481 Show more
