""Thomas Pownall, British Defender of American Liberty"" is a historical study by John Adolph Schutz that delves into the complex and often fraught relationship between Great Britain and the American colonies in the 18th century. The book focuses on the life and legacy of Thomas Pownall, a British politician and colonial administrator who served as governor of Massachusetts in the years leading up to the American Revolution. Pownall was a vocal advocate for American rights and liberties, and his efforts to bridge the gap between the colonies and the mother country provide a fascinating window into the political and social dynamics of the time. Schutz's book draws on a wealth of primary sources to paint a vivid picture of Pownall's life and times, and offers valuable insights into the larger issues that shaped the Anglo-American relationship during this pivotal period in history.Old Northwest Historical Series, V5.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
