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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK“A brief, sharply focused biography [that] restores Adams to his rightful place as an indispensable provocateur of American liberty” (Kirkus Reviews). Samuel Adams is perhaps the most unheralded and overshadowed of the founding fathers, yet without him there would have been no American Revolution. A genius at devising civil protests and political maneuvers that became a trademark of American politics, Adams astutely forced Britain into coercive military measures that ultimately led to the irreversible split in the empire. Through his remarkable political career, Adams addressed all the major issues concerning America’s decision to become a nation—from the notion of taxation without representation to the Declaration of Independence. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams all acknowledged that they built our nation on Samuel Adams’ foundations. Now, in this riveting biography, his story is finally told and his crucial place in American history is fully recognized. Winner of the 2007 Fraunces Tavern Museum Book Award
