Topic: Thomas Shepard


  
  Thomas Shepard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thomas Shepard (November 5, 1605 – August 25, 1649) was an American Puritan minister and a significant figure in early colonial New England.
Shepard was regarded as one of the foremost Puritan ministers of his day, esteemed in the company of individuals like Richard Mather and John Cotton.
Today a plaque at Harvard University, in the words of Cotton Mather, records that it was in consideration of the salutary effect of Shepard's ministry that the College ultimately came to be placed in "Newtowne", known today as Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Shepard’s autobiography and journal are among the most trenchant accounts of the persecution of the Puritans under Laud.
Shepard’s autobiography indeed offers a celebratory account of most of the prominent Puritan players in the early drama of New England, even as it seeks to justify the brutal Pequot War (1636—1637) and the horrible, sweeping violence of Puritan retaliation against Native Americans for what were isolated Indian attacks.
Shepard points out precisely this narrative purpose when, by prefacing his autobiography with a letter to his son, he dedicates his life’s story to family posterity—a posterity that five generations later would include Abigail Adams, wife of the second U.S. president and mother of the fifth.
