“John Adams prophesied that the anniversary of Independence Day would be celebrated by succeeding generations of Americans with bells, guns, and sports. His prophecy was correct. But today’s celebrations of the fourth of July sometimes fail to stimulate an appreciation of the years of strife that led up to the Declaration of Independence, and the years of war that followed it. This How and Why Wonder Book of the American Revolution gives the reader a new sense of how those early years are important to our present national life.”
Paperback, gift inscription, minor wear, tanned pages. Slight musty smell, no other major issues.
