5.0 out of 5 stars
Out of the mouths of babes!,
By D. Keeley (East Coast of the U.S.of A.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Life and Public Services of Samuel Adams (Select bibliographies reprint series) (Hardcover)
What a treasure trove of information is to be found in the three volumes of this biographical account of the life of the most important individual in the political fight against the British empire for American liberty. The author (Wells) does a splendid job of weaving firsthand knowledge of his Grandfather (Adams) with historical fact. To say that Wells didn't lean toward the opinions of his Grandfather would be less than honest. However, after recently reading the story/biography of Samuel Adams written by Harlow, I am very glad I read Wells' account first. Adams was truly one of the last Puritans in his time and to allege anything about him beyond true Christian patriotism is completely false. In reading this book you will join the ranks of Joseph Warren, John Hancock and Josiah Quincy as they battle the most virulent British Administrations ever cast against our founding fathers as they battled for our God-given rights. Wells puts you at the scene of the massacre of March 5th and the backroom meetings of the Caucus club. You can almost see the fire in the fireplace that warms them as they steer a course toward independence. If you are a student of history and a patriot I highly recommend reading all three volumes. Signed, Determinatus
