Information and examples for the beginner Colonial-era researcher are interwoven into this story of Anne Hutchinson\ , who emigrated to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1634 and was a champion of freedom far ahead of her time. Wrongly banished and excommunicated\, s he was a well-acknowledged leader among the founders of Rhode Island - the progressive\, daring group who created the charter that served as the blu eprint for our nation's Constitution. In her last days\, she and most of h er children were living in the Bronx when they were murdered. Only her dau ghter Susanna survived\; she was kidnapped and eventually ransomed as part of a peace treaty. This truly amazing account of the earliest beginnings of this great nation is definitely something you do not want to miss and w ill provide information about colonial-era record-keeping and our nation's birth which will assist with researching those way-way-back ancestors.
