Washington Franklin Jefferson Hamilton Adams and Madison-together they are best known as an intimate cadre of daring brilliant men credited with our nation's founding. But does this group tell the whole story In his widely praised new history of the roots of American patriotism celebrated author Ray Raphael expands the historical canvas to reveal an entire generation of patriots who pushed for independence fought a war and set the United States on its course-giving us "an evangelizing introduction to the American Revolution" Booklist. Called "entertaining yet informative" by Library Journal Founders brings to life seven historical figures whose stories anchor a sweeping yet intimate history of the Founding Era from the beginnings of unrest in 1761 through the passage of the Bill of Rights thirty years later. Here we follow the intertwined lives of George Washington and a private soldier in his army.
