Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoir of Josiah Quincy His descendants have not been numerous; but, as many of them were educated men and in public life, the name has always been distinguished. Josiah Quincy, jun., so called be cause he died in the lifetime of his father, and because his name thus written is indissolubly associated with the early struggles which led to American Independence, was of the fifth generation. He was then a young lawyer in Boston, rapidly rising into note. Of an ardent temperament, jealous for the rights and liberties of the Colonies, bold, eloquent, incorruptible, he was eminently fitted to become a leader in the impending Revolution. He was married, in October, 1769, to Abigail Phillips, the eldest daughter of William Phillips, one of the most distinguished and successful of the Boston merchants of that day. They resided in Washington (then Marlborough) Street, nearly opposite the old Province House, where was born, Feb. 4, 1772, their son Josiah, the subject of the following memoir. In the autumn of 1774, the father embarked for England, in the hope of serving his country abroad, and at the same time recruiting his own health, which had begun to give way under the pressure of professional and public cares. The first part of this hope was fulfilled, but not the second; he died on his passage home, April 26, 1775, only a few hours before the ship entered the harbor of Gloucester. The battle of Lexington had taken place in the preceding week; Boston was occupied by the British troops, and all intercourse with the country suspended. For this reason, the inhabitants of Gloucester proceeded to bury him with such marks of respect as the times would permit.* Everywhere, as a cotemporary tells us, the multitude of the people were his mourners; and he is still remembered with that peculiar interest which attaches to a proto-martyr, especially when, as in this case, he is cut off in the midst of a career of great promise.

Book excerpt: Nina Sankovitch’s American Rebels explores, for the first time, the intertwined lives of the Hancock, Quincy, and Adams families, and the role each person played in sparking the American Revolution. Before they were central figures in American history, John Hancock, John Adams, Josiah Quincy Junior, Abigail Smith Adams, and Dorothy Quincy Hancock had forged intimate connections during their childhood in Braintree, Massachusetts. Raised as loyal British subjects who quickly saw the need to rebel, their collaborations against the Crown and Parliament were formed years before the revolution and became stronger during the period of rising taxes and increasing British troop presence in Boston. Together, the families witnessed the horrors of the Boston Massacre, the Battles of Lexington and Concord, and Bunker Hill; the trials and tribulations of the Siege of Boston; meetings of the Continental Congress; transatlantic missions for peace and their abysmal failures; and the final steps that led to the signing of the Declaration of Independence. American Rebels explores how the desire for independence cut across class lines, binding people together as well as dividing them—rebels versus loyalists—as they pursued commonly-held goals of opportunity, liberty, and stability. Nina Sankovitch's new book is a fresh history of our revolution that makes readers look more closely at Massachusetts and the small town of Braintree when they think about the story of America’s early years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This memoir comprises the most important events in the life of a statesman second to none of his contemporaries in laborious and faithful devotion to the service of his country. John Quincy Adams (1767-1848) was a diplomat, politician, and President of the United States (1825-1829). His party affiliations were Federalist, Democratic-Republican, National Republican, and later Whig. He is most famous as a diplomat involved in many international negotiations, and for formulating the Monroe Doctrine. As president he proposed a grand program of modernization and educational advancement, but was unable to get it through Congress. Late in life, as a Congressman, he was a leading opponent of the Slave Power, arguing that if a civil war ever broke out the president could abolish slavery by using his war powers, a policy followed by Abraham Lincoln in the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863.
