In Their Own Words: Founding Fathers
Summary
Praised as "a lively and engaging invitation to early American history" ( Ian K. Steele , author of Warpaths ) and "a valuable addition to the literature of the American Iliad" ( James M. McPherson , bestselling author of Battle Cry of Freedom ), the In Their Own Words series takes readers into the hearts and minds of those who lived history. In this latest--and final--addition to the series, historian T.J. Stiles brings to life in vivid detail the dramatic events of the Revolutionary War, skillfully interweaving his fast-paced narrative with the words of those who fought for our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. From the first rumblings of rebellion to the full-throated call-to-arms, from the provocative debates to the battlefields, this impressive volume includes first-hand stories and commentaries from our Founding Fathers--John Adams, Samuel Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, George Washington, and Thomas Paine--as well as American and British soldiers.
