Description
A detailed telling of the Boston tea party. And a raucous party it was. Much of Boston turned out to watch the goings-on of the "Mohawks" as they ordered the ship's crew below deck while tossing the tea overboard. Witnessed by British forces, including the admiral in charge of the British fleet in Boston, who did not feel it necessary to try to stop it. 39 pgs, sc. - Laura
"Rally, Mohawks! Bring out your axes.And tell King George we will pay no taxes.On his foreign tea." Publisher's Description of Boston Tea Party
More than any other event the Boston Tea Party of 1773 has come to stand for the determination of American colonists to control their own destinies. From the arrival of the ships full of controversial taxed tea in Boston Harbor through the explosive protest meetings at the Old South Church to the defiant act of dumping 226 chests of fine tea into the harbor on December 16, Russell Freedman captures this exciting story in vivid prose. In lush, intricately detailed watercolor paintings, Peter Malone artfully depicts the colonial era and the charged atmosphere of Boston during these pivotal developments that ushered in the Revolutionary War. Source notes, a bibliography, a time line, an afterward, a note about tea, a historical map, and an index are included in this opulently designed volume.
