520 _a"Samuell Gorton: A Forgotten Founder of Our Liberties; First Settler of Warwick" by Lewis G. Janes is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the life and contributions of Samuell Gorton, a significant yet overlooked figure in early American history, particularly regarding the establishment of civil liberties and religious freedom in Rhode Island. The narrative explores Gorton’s journey from England to New England and highlights his role as a founder of the town of Warwick and a champion of "soul liberty." The opening of this work introduces Gorton as a prominent figure in the early development of Rhode Island, emphasizing the challenges he faced and the injustices he endured while advocating for individual freedoms. Janes outlines Gorton's early life, his contentious interactions with colonial authorities, and his search for a place where he could live freely according to his beliefs. As the narrative begins, it hints at Gorton’s intellectual rigor, as he asserts his rights and defies the political constraints of his time, setting the stage for the critical examination of his impact on establishing foundational liberties in a fledgling America.
