Publisher Annotation: In the spring of 1776, the streets of Philadelphia buzzed with the sounds of revolution. Talk of war and rumors of spies swirled in the air. Noisy debates spilled out of taverns. The State House bell tolled urgently, calling men to meetings and momentarily drowning out the normal hum of the port city. Dive into the stories of ordinary people willing to do extraordinary things, from iconic figures like Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Ben Franklin, and Paul Revere, to lesser-known revolutionaries such as Caesar Rodney, Thomas Paine, and Mary Katherine Goddard. These great men and women risked all they had-their property, freedom, and ultimately their lives-to secure a better life for their children and grandchildren. Packed with firsthand accounts and vivid depictions of the patriots' struggle for freedom, Justice Gorsuch's and Janie Nitze's debut children's book thoughtfully investigates the foundations of our country, centering the human experience at the heart of it all.
