5.0 out of 5 stars
Letter from Benjamin Hatcher,
By Kris (Oxnard, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Boston Tea Party, Rebellion in the Colonies (Adventures in Colonial America) (Paperback)
Benjamin Hatcher of Boston writes a long letter describing his participation in the Boston Tea Party, to William Yancy of South Carolina, June 18, 1774. Everything seems authentic, with nice illustrations.
In fine detail, the story of the Boston Tea Party is a bit different than what we know today as the legend, but the essentials are the same: the colonists boarded three British ships and threw the crates of tea overboard, due to a tax on tea which they objected to. Benjamin Hatcher is a seller of tea and makes it clear why he opposes the tax: people can't afford it. There's a black market in tea imported from other sources, while the Tea Party is going on. Interesting and well written. Diximus.
