Description | Gorton in Court in Massachusetts |
Details |
Samuel Gorton stands in front of the judge in a courtroom in Massachusetts, hand raised as he looks to the judge, the rest of the court room facing him as they examine his dispute with the minister John Cotton. Gorton was often in court throughout his life, due to his extreme and discordant views with the orthodox puritan authorities that governed most of the English settlements.
