Historian Ray Raphael has chosen seven representative
characters--some famous, some unknown--to anchor a sweeping new
history of the entire Founding Era, from the beginnings of unrest
in 1761 through the passage of the Bill of Rights thirty years
later. Readers experience the Revolutionary War by following the
lives of both George Washington and a private soldier in his army.
America's richest merchant, who rescued the nation from bankruptcy,
goes head-to-head with a peripatetic revolutionary who incited
rebellion in seven states. Rounding out the company is a richly
nuanced cast of other characters, including Mercy Otis Warren, the
most politically engaged woman of the times; a common village
blacksmith; and a conservative slave owner, together with his
abolitionist son. The culmination of Raphael's extensive research
into the history and meaning of our nation's origins, "Founders"
returns us to the dynamic roots of American patriotism.
