The Regicides: A Tale Of Early Colonial Times is a historical novel written by Frederick Hull Cogswell and published in 1896. The story is set in the early colonial period of America and revolves around the regicides, two judges who signed the death warrant of King Charles I in England in 1649 and fled to America to escape persecution by the new monarchy.The novel follows the lives of the regicides, Edward Whalley and William Goffe, as they settle in the New England colonies and become embroiled in the political and religious turmoil of the time. The story is told through the eyes of a young Puritan woman, Dorothy Bradford, who becomes involved with the regicides and their cause.As tensions rise between the Puritan settlers and the Native American tribes, the regicides are forced to take up arms and fight for their new home. The novel explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the struggle for freedom in the early days of America.Cogswell's writing style is descriptive and vivid, transporting the reader back in time to the early colonial period. The characters are well-developed and the plot is engaging, making The Regicides a fascinating historical novel that offers insight into the early days of America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
