American Idols
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
These thumbnail sketches of the 56 brave, yet flawed, men of accomplishment and purpose who signed the Declaration offer insight into the real story of how the United States was formed. Their stories recount their sacrifice, pragmatism, wisdom and boldness that led the colonies to take a stand against the most formidable imperial nation on earth. The authors present frank, concise and interesting summaries of signers, both famous and obscure, set against a solid historical background of the events which led to independence. With the preponderance of revisionist history so in vogue today, it is refreshing to read the facts as they existed at the time, devoid of any political spin. The stories told here of people from strikingly ordinary roots who rose to extraordinary heights are surprising and inspirational. Read these "reality TV" snapshots of truly talented, real-life American heroes!
