Book censorship in the United States During the 1600s, a very prevalent form of book censorship in the United States was book burning. In October of 1650, William Pynchon's pamphlet, The Meritorious Price of Our Redemption, was criticized and promptly burned by the Puritan government. This book burning in Boston, Massachusetts is often referred to and even considered the "first book burning in America".[14]
