John Moretta/William Penn & Quaker Legacy

Abstract: A 6 page book review on William Penn and the Quaker Legacy by John A. Moretta (Pearson, 2007). While many people can name William Penn (1644-1718) as the Quaker leader who founded Pennsylvania that is where their knowledge stops. In his captivating biography of Penn, Moretta asserts that Penn was arguably one of the most significant figures in early American history and that it is to the Quakers, rather than New England Puritans, that many of America's founding principles can be traced. No additional sources cited.
