''The Life of William Pepperell'' is a biographical work written by Usher Parsons and published in 1855. The book chronicles the life of William Pepperell, a prominent American merchant and military leader who played a key role in the colonial history of New England. Pepperell was born in 1696 in Kittery, Maine, and went on to become a successful businessman and landowner.

Pepperell is perhaps best known for his leadership during the Siege of Louisbourg in 1745, a pivotal battle in the conflict between France and England for control of North America. The book provides a detailed account of Pepperell’s life, including his family background, business ventures, military career, and personal relationships. It also examines the historical context of his life, including the political and social changes that occurred during the colonial period. Overall, ''The Life of William Pepperell'' offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of a remarkable figure in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
