""John Wheelwright 1592-1679"" is a biography written by John Heard Jr. about the life of John Wheelwright, a Puritan minister and controversial figure in colonial New England. The book explores Wheelwright's early life in England, his education at Cambridge University, and his eventual migration to Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1636. Once in America, Wheelwright became a prominent figure in the Puritan community, but his outspoken views and criticism of the colony's leadership led to his banishment in 1638. He then founded the town of Exeter in present-day New Hampshire and played a key role in the establishment of the colony of New Hampshire. The book delves into Wheelwright's religious beliefs and his role in the Antinomian Controversy, a theological dispute that rocked the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the 1630s. It also examines his interactions with other notable figures of the time, including Anne Hutchinson and John Winthrop. Overall, ""John Wheelwright 1592-1679"" provides a detailed and comprehensive look at the life of this important historical figure and his impact on the early history of New England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
