By Adelos Gorton

The life and times of Samuel Gorton shows us his genealogy and descendants. He was born in 1592 in England,  and was one of the founders of the colony of Providence and Rhode Island Plantations in Narragansett Indian Country, which is now the state of Rhode Island. The book delves into the early history of this New England area, and all the aspects of its colonization.
