It is the purpose of this book to tell the story of a man who was the first president of one of the most prestigious universities in all the world. And while he performed the duties of his job blamelessly, he was stripped of his position by those who disagreed with him regarding his religious convictions. He would not only endure the scorn of his religious opponents, but would also be betrayed by his own family. Certainly the story of a man who endured such hostility for what he believed, and yet remained steadfast in his convictions, deserves to be told. This is the story of Henry Dunster and his role in religious liberty in the United States.
