This book takes a look at the First Church in Boston from its origin and foundation by John Wilson to 1880. The book is broken down into time periods and the men who influenced the church during those times. These sections include: 1630-1632, John Wilson; 1633-1652, John Cotton; 1653-1670, John Wilson, John Norton, John Davenport, James Allen; 1671-1710, James Allen, John Oxenbridge, Joshua Moodey, John Bailey, Benjamin Wadsworth, Thomas Bridge; 1711-1785, Thomas Bridge, Benjmain Wadsworth, Thomas Foxcroft, Charles Chauncy, John Clarke; 1786-1814, John Clarke, William Emerson, John Abbot; 1815-1849, Nathaniel Langdon Frothingham; 1850-1880, Rufus Ellis. There is also a section which includes officers and beneficiaries of the church. A fullname index is also included.
The book is presented as graphic images, so the user sees the work just as it was originally published. It is intended to look and function very much like a "real" book. There is no electronic index, and there is no electronic text to search. However, numerous electronic bookmarks have been added which make it easy to move through the book. Image numbers will match the page numbers for all of the main text, as well as the index. Any unnumbered portraits and illustrations are at the back of the actual file, to keep page numbering consistent.
