What Has Changed in the Last Century
Collier's called Anne Hutchinson "an American religious enthusiast" who "held various theological heresies"; a year after that 1921 volume appeared, a bronze statue of her by Cyrus Dallin was placed outside the Massachusetts State House, and in 1987 Governor Michael Dukakis formally revoked her 1638 banishment. She is now read less as a heretic than as an early figure in American religious liberty and women's public speech, and her father is securely identified as the clergyman Francis Marbury (garbled in the text above). Thomas Hutchinson, dismissed here in a few lines as an unpopular royal governor, was rehabilitated as a serious and tragic figure by Bernard Bailyn's 1974 study The Ordeal of Thomas Hutchinson. Hutchinson, Kansas, still sits on its salt: the population has grown from 23,298 in 1920 to about 40,000, and since 2007 visitors have descended 650 feet into a working mine at the Strataca salt museum.
