Revolutionary Heroes

By James Parton

Book Overview

The American Revolutionary War produced heroes who turned the political world upside down. The risks they dared take, the remarkable courage they demonstrated, the supreme sacrifices they made brought democracy to the modern world. On one day each year Americans celebrate the great gift they gave us. But do we really appreciate how much they endured and how much they stood to lose in order to make that gift? And beyond the few "founding fathers" whose names we recall, do we honor all the heroes who gave us our democracy? In this classic volume, prolific chronicler of American history James Parton reminds us of those whose heroic deeds presented their own and future generations the opportunity to live free of tyranny. Their legacy endures-and long may their memory
