The first book burning incident in the Thirteen Colonies occurs in Boston when William Pynchon, founder of Springfield, Massachusetts, publishes The Meritorious Price of Our Redemption, which criticises the Puritans who are at this time in power in Massachusetts. The book became the first to be banned in North America, and all known copies are publicly burned. Pynchon leaves for England prior to a scheduled appearance in court, and never returns.Paxton, Mark (2008). Censorship. Greenwood Press. p. 53.Bremer, Francis J.; Webster, Tom 2006.
