Summary: "The Story of Bacon's Rebellion" by Mary Newton Stanard is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into one of the most significant uprisings in Virginia's colonial history, known as Bacon's Rebellion, which occurred in the late 17th century. The book explores the political and social tensions between the colonial government, led by Governor Sir William Berkeley, and discontented settlers, culminating in the charismatic figure of Nathaniel Bacon emerging as a leader of the rebellion. At the start of the narrative, the author sets the stage for the tumultuous times in Virginia just before the rebellion broke out. The introduction outlines the grievances of the settlers against the government, including oppressive taxes and threats from Native Americans. It presents Sir William Berkeley’s tyrannical rule, characterized by his disregard for the people's needs and growing discontent amongst the colonists. Nathaniel Bacon is introduced as a sympathetic figure, aligning himself with the common people in their fight against tyranny, as he becomes increasingly poised to lead the charge against the injustices perpetrated by the colonial elite.
