This collection of 17 biographies provides a unique opportunity for
the reader to go beyond the popular heroes of the American
Revolution and discover the diverse populace that inhabited the
colonies during this pivotal point in history.
This volume documents the final eighteen years of William Penn's
life, from 1701 to 1718. It opens with his last months as resident
proprietor of Pennsylvania-a moment of great importance in the
political history of the colony. It ends with his death on 30 July
1718, after a lingering illness.
Volume III covers Penn's return to England, his appeal to James II
to support religious toleration, his struggle to reestablish his
position in England and to manage his colony in America, and his
return to Pennsylvania in 1699.
