The Regicides is a historical novel written by Frederick Hull Cogswell and published in 1896. The book is set in early colonial times, specifically during the 17th century in New England. It tells the story of the regicides, two judges who signed the death warrant of King Charles I and fled to America after the monarchy was restored in England. The main characters of the novel are Edward Whalley and William Goffe, the two regicides who are hiding in New England under false identities. The story follows their struggles to remain hidden and avoid capture by the English authorities who are searching for them. Along the way, they encounter various other characters, including Puritan settlers, Native Americans, and other fugitives from justice.As the plot unfolds, the regicides are forced to confront their past actions and the moral implications of their decision to sign the death warrant. They also face challenges from within the Puritan community, which is divided over the issue of their presence in the colony. Overall, The Regicides is a gripping tale of adventure, intrigue, and moral conflict set against the backdrop of early colonial America. It offers a fascinating glimpse into a little-known chapter of American history and explores themes of justice, loyalty, and the price of freedom.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
