Beautifully crafted and filled with full color pages of illustrations and design, this book looks at fifty famous quotes of the American Revolution and provides documentation and context for them. Each quote is unique and each one has a story. Some famous quotes were spoken or written in private, while others were articulated publicly. Regardless of their source or circumstances, they have become part of American history and are as relevant today as when first spoken.
