520 _a"William Penn" by Rupert Sargent Holland is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the life and influence of William Penn, focusing on his role as the founder of Pennsylvania and his efforts to promote religious freedom and fair treatment of Indigenous peoples. It explores various pivotal moments in his life, including his upbringing, college years, and eventual establishment of a Quaker colony in America. At the start of the book, we are introduced to the tumultuous backdrop of 17th-century England, highlighting the English Civil War and the religious movements that arose from it, particularly Quakerism, which captivated young William Penn. The narrative follows his early experiences, including his college life, his father's influential role, and his growing disillusionment with the aristocratic lifestyle expected of him. As Penn begins to align himself with the Quakers, he faces conflict with his father and societal expectations, setting the stage for his remarkable journey toward creating a new community founded on principles of peace and religious liberty.
