About the Book
John Hancock and Samuel Adams were an unlikely pair of troublemakers. Hancock was young and dashing. Adams was old and stodgy. But working together, they rallied the people of Boston against the unfair policies of Great Britain and inspired American resistance. And to King George, they became a royal pain.
When the British army began marching toward Lexington and Concord, sending Hancock and Adams fleeing into the woods, the two men couldn't help but worry--this time, had they gone too far?
Rich with historical detail and primary sources, this spirited tale takes readers through ten years of taxes and tea-tossing, tyranny and town hall meetings. The team behind Thomas Paine and the Dangerous Word reunites for a lively look at the origins of the American Revolution told through the powerful partnership of two legendary founders.
My Take on the Book
This book was filled with so much detail and information and I can say that by the end of the book my eyes were open to all of the things that these two did together that many people may not be aware of at all. The book also shares the distinct differences which makes you realize that this partnership was a bit unconventional. That being said, even though that is the case, it was a powerful one. Get ready to learn and have fun with the story itself, as is holds a ton of learning surprises too.
