DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe story of one of the most important -- and most elusive -- figures of the American Revolution, Samuel Adams traces the life of the "Man of the Revolution," as he was called by Thomas Jefferson, from his childhood as a fifth-generation New Englander to his pivotal role in the Boston Tea Party and war that followed to a life spent in public service. Benjamin Irvin explores the fascinating contradictions of Samuel Adams's life: he was born into a family of high rank, but lived a humble, almost impoverished life; he could barely manage his personal household, but brilliantly managed the Massachusetts House of Representatives; he pushed for the Revolution, but resisted the Constitution; he spearheaded resistance to the English government but staunchly opposed resistance to the U.S. government. A perceptive look at the life of a complex man, Samuel Adams is an evocative portrait of one of our nation's most interesting Founding Fathers.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Life and Public Services of Samuel Adams, Vol. 1: Being a Narrative of His Acts and Opinions, and of His Agency in Producing and Forwarding the American Revolution; With Extracts From His Correspondence, State Papers, and Political Essays When, by reason of unavoidable delays and constant de mands upon the time of the author in an editorial capacity, five years had been expended, he was disposed to transfer What 'he had collected 'to any gentleman whose scholarly attainments and 3leisure would be better adapted to weaving it into a biography worthy the character and times to be treated. The whole was arranged in chronological order, with notes and references, ready for a comparatively speedy completion; but time passed on, and it was plain that if the work was to be finished, it must be by the hand that be gan it. And perhaps such a narration could appear at no time more appropriately than at the commencement of the great centennials of the Revolution, and when treason has just been defeated in an attempt to overthrow the goodly heritage of freedom which the subject of these memoirs toiled so long and arduously to secure. The example pre sented by his disinterested desire for the advancement of his country, his incorruptible integrity and republican sim plicity of character, cannot be entirely thrown away, how ever imperfectly delineated.
