Young and dashing John Hancock and stodgy old Samuel Adams were an unlikely pair of troublemakers, but working together, they rallied the people of Boston against the unfair policies of Great Britain and inspired American resistance. When the British army began marching toward Lexington and Concord, sending Hancock and Adams fleeing into the woods, the two men couldn't help but worry—this time, had they gone too far? Rich with historical detail, this spirited tale takes readers 6 and up through ten years of taxes and tea-tossing, tyranny and town hall meetings, which Edwin Fotheringham depicts in whimsical and dramatic illustrations.
