EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the 17th century, Roger Williams, the visionary founder of the colony of Rhode Island, stands amidst the wilderness of North America, surveying the progress of his own hands as he builds a log cabin in the New World. The year is 1636, and the scene is set in the Providence Plantations, a place Williams would establish as a refuge for religious freedom and tolerance. Williams, an early abolitionist, Puritan minister, and a man of deep convictions, gazes out at the landscape with a sense of determination and resolve. In his hand, he holds an axe, a tool that symbolizes both the harsh realities of colonial life and the promise of self-sufficiency. Behind him, a partially constructed log house stands as a testament to his perseverance and ingenuity. The image captures a pivotal moment in the history of the New World, as European settlers began to establish permanent communities in the Americas. Williams' story is one of courage and conviction, as he left the Massachusetts Bay Colony due to his beliefs in religious freedom and Native American rights. His journey led him to this land, where he would found a colony that would become a beacon of tolerance and acceptance. This photograph, with its rich historical context, offers a glimpse into the early days of colonialism in North America. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and challenges faced by those who dared to venture into the unknown, and the indomitable spirit that drove them to build a new life in a land far from home.
