Book description
The founding fathers--reframed!
Tired of reading about stiff, snooze-worthy revolutionary rebels?
How about lackluster wars and mind-numbing laws? Not Your Father's
Founders breathes life back into history with dynamic profiles of
the politicos, wartime heroes, and lesser-known but equally important
players who built this nation.
Featuring hundreds of strange details and quirky stories, you'll
love learning all about the thinkers, doers, and maintainers who
spearheaded the rebellion. This re-read of American history will also
keep you on your toes with entertaining facts, quotations, and
revelations. For example, Samuel Adams' father was a merchant and
brewer. Young Samuel worked for a while at the family brewery, but he
did not have the head for it--or business in general.
The birth of our nation was anything but dull--and Not Your
Father's Founders pays proper tribute to our country's creators
with entertaining tales you'll never forget.
