So Brilliant was William Penn's American Legacy that Thomas Jefferson, writer of the Declaration of Independence, called him, ""the greatest lawgiver the world has produced."" And brilliant he was...not only because Penn's Charter of Privileges provided the framework for the United States Government but also because of the underlying freedom it provided all people. In fact, our twenty-eighth president, Woodrow Wilson, was so convinced of William Penn's contributions to America's foundation that he said, ""America did not come out of New England.""

"William Penn was a prophet! Much like Jeremiah spoke of Israel's return from exile William Penn spoke of a great nation that would sprout from a single seed! Not a place, but an idea. An idea that would inspire Thomas Jefferson to say, "William Penn was the greatest law-giver the world has produced."
The idea-"that we would do the thing that is truly wise and just."
Darrell & Lorrie Fields capture the essence of William Penn in their inspiring work, The Seed of a Nation. It is the historical account combined with the deep spiritual journey of Pennsylvania's father. But more than words, Darrell & Lorrie reveal the Truth that is William Penn...the Truth that is Pennsylvania...and the Truth that is the seed of our Nation...that "if it [the seed] dies, it produces many seeds."
William Penn, like most of the Founding Fathers, sacrificed all for the sake of the fledgling nation. Pledging life, fortune and sacred honor William Penn lived in a way that was truly "wise and just."
Anyone who is losing hope for America must read The Seed of a Nation. The Inspiration lives, the seed sprouts, the idea works."
--Honorable Scott W. Boyd, Pennsylvania State Representative
