The Holy Experiment by WILLIAM FOX with Richard Pasco as William Penn - founder of Pennsylvania in 1681. He was a Quaker but also a courtier and his determination for a better deal for members of his sect secured a grant of land in the New World from Charles II. He remains one of the greatest figures of American history: his treaty with the Indians, the most successful treatment of aborigines that history records, lasted for 70 years, and his Frame of Government for Pennsylvania became the basis for the Constitution of the United States.
