Who Was Thomas Starr King?
Thomas Starr King was a Universalist, and subsequently a Unitarian minister, who was a frequent visitor to the Plymouth area during the 1850’s. He wrote about his love of the area in his book, The White Hills. He moved to California and became famous for his rousing sermons and political work to keep that state in the Union during the Civil War. Mountains in both New Hampshire and California are named for him. The Fellowship chose the name “Starr King Unitarian Universalist Fellowship” in his honor.
