Book Description
This book explores the career of Rev. Thomas Barton. Barton's ministry illuminates life on Pennsylvania's pre-Revolutionary frontier. As missionary for the church of England, Barton championed the interests of the Anglican church and the proprietary of William Penn's children in a turbulent borderland best by both threats from the French and their Native American allies and challenges to English authority from a largely Scots-Irish Presbyterian population. Ultimately, his hopes were destroyed when revolution swept him to a life of loss in New York City, where he died. This study examines the tragic life of a mid-level Anglo-Irish placeman who sought to expand his opportunities in pre-Revolutionary Pennsylvania.--Dust jacket.
