Award-winning author Avi recounts the story of Roger Williams through the eyes of Williams' youngest daughter. In 1635, Roger Williams is on trial in the Massachusetts Bay Colony for preaching what was then considered radical ideas about freedom and equality. When Roger is found guilty, he must escape and travel into the wilderness, where his only hope will be to find his friends the Narragansett Indians.
I found this book in the gift shop of the Rhode Island State House. With an emphasis on the changes caused by accelerating industrialization, this book explores the important people, places and events of nineteenth century Rhode Island. From Samuel Slater and the start of the American industrial revolution in the 1790's to the construction of the Newport mansions in the 1890's, this book tells the story of Rhode Island's place in nineteenth century American history.
