| Item Description: | Caption title: Burrouogh's [sic] hay-mow sermon. Burroughs' flight from Pelham occurred in 1784. However, reference made in the sermon to Shays' Rebellion (1786-87) indicates that some, if not all, of the sermon was composed after the event. Burroughs' Memoirs, referred to in the title, were published in 1798. "The hymn."--page [8]. Electronic resource. |
