Samuel Adams: The Life of an American Revolutionary vividly tells
the story of a titan of America's greatest generation. Friend and
foe alike considered Adams one of the greatest members of the
generation that achieved American independence and crafted
constitutions that made the ideal of republican government a living
reality in the new nation. Adams's role as a major political author
and organizer are explored as is his central role in momentous
events including the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party. The
work demonstrates why Thomas Jefferson described Adams as the
helmsman of the American Revolution. Adams's career during the war
and his involvement in crafting and defending republican
constitutions are assessed as are his views on virtue, religion,
education, women, and slavery. Following Adams through the 1790s,
one sees that he wanted the revolutionary generation to bequeath a
land of liberty and equality to the nation's posterity. The
personal side of this revolutionary who was renowned for his lack
of concern for material things is not neglected. The symbiotic
relationship of Samuel and his wife Elizabeth is analyzed. The work
demonstrates that Adams's life provides a veritable guide to
responsible citizenship and public service in a republic.
