Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While many texts seek to relate the influence of America's Founding Fathers, few describe the contributions made to the founding of America by their wives. Throughout much of the twentieth century and early part of the twenty-first century, many historians have attempted to apply the expression, "Founding Fathers", to a very small group of individuals. Often, it has been apply to the least orthodox of the Founding Fathers-about half a dozen in number. But the actual number of individuals responsible for the rise of America as an independent nation far exceeds half a dozen persons. Those who enjoy a claim to be numbered among the "Founding Fathers" include the Signers of the Declaration of Independence, signers and delegates to the Constitutional Convention, noteworthy state governors, members of the First Congress under the Constitution, early appointments to the Supreme Court, and other local statesmen-such as Patrick Henry-who did not sign any founding documents, and yet, who were influential in the founding of America. The number of Founding Fathers who may rightly be considered within these parameters approaches two-hundred-fifty. Any attempt to deal with all of the wives of so large a number of Founding Fathers would, indeed, be extensive. However, this work limits consideration to the wives of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. In 1912, The Pioneer Mothers of America was published by Harry Clinton Green and Mary Wolcott Green. The third volume of this trilogy considered the wives of the Signers. For their contribution to the preservation and appreciation of America's glorious heritage, the authors have earned the praise of America's freedom-loving posterity. Indeed, the authors have judiciously recognized that the Founding Mothers of America rightly deserve a conspicuous place beside America's Founding Fathers, and herein is contained an effort to accord a select number that place of honor.

Download or read book The Signers written by Jim Bollenbacher and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2021-03-12 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning the days leading up to July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress prepares to debate the wisdom of seeking independence from their British masters. While most enlightened thinkers believe reconciliation will soon replace confrontation, negotiations between the two sides are continuing peacefully. On the surface the enlightened thinkers appear to be correct; however, both British and colonial leaders continue to make plans to the contrary.While the British continue to secretly assemble the largest naval armada in history, a shadowy plot has emerged from the highest levels of their government: an order to strike a decisive first blow and cut off the head of the snake.Patrick Rourke, a notorious and wealthy Philadelphia Tory, and his exotic mistress, Lydia Ames, are working with British agents on a sinister plot. Their goal is simple: to eliminate the leadership of the fledgling rebellion.In the meantime, members of the Second Continental Congress's Secret Committee have set in motion a bold plan to seek French military aid for the coming conflict. A ship full of gold is on its way to France to secure the deal. Unfortunately, the small committee has been compromised, and word of the shipment has fallen into the wrong hands.With the looming revolution in the background, we find our reluctant hero, Benjamin Cushman, thrust into the middle of the coming storm. Cushman decides to visit his best friend from childhood, Thomas Jefferson, only to be caught in the middle of the notorious British assassination plot.The assassination attempt is the springboard and culmination of various subplots set against the actual documented historical records of the weeks leading up to the signing of the Declaration of Independence. This historical fiction novel allows the reader to follow our Founding Fathers during one of the most crucial weeks in our history, the week leading up to the Fourth of July. It will expose the reader to the process, pressure, and politics that led to the courageous signing of the Declaration of Independence and perhaps the greatest closing line in human history, as the signers pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor for a simple yet powerful idea—freedom.

Download or read book Lives of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence written by Benson John Lossing and published by Tales End Press. This book was released on 2012-08-06 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fifty-six signers of America's Declaration of Independence risked their “lives, fortunes, and sacred honor” to found a new country. In this classic work, Benson J. Lossing describes the lives of each of the founding fathers, their greatest achievements, and what impelled them to take such an incredible risk. While some are well known to us – Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Hancock – much of the pleasure in this book comes from reading about the lesser-known signers, and about the many challenges they faced throughout their lives in the young United States. Appendices contain Thomas Jefferson's original version of the Declaration, an analysis of its grievances, the subsequent Articles of Confederation and US Constitution, and the offending Stamp Act. This ebook edition includes an active table of contents, reflowable text, and 50 period engravings of the faces and signatures of the signers.

Book excerpt: Probably the finest genealogical record ever compiled on the people of ancient Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, this work consists of extensive source records and documented family sketches. Collectively, what is presented here is a veritable history of a people--a "tribe" of people--who settled in the valley between the Yadkin and Catawba rivers more than two hundred years ago. The object of the book is to show where these people originated and what became of them and their descendants. Included among the source records are the various lists of the Signers of the Mecklenburg Declaration; Abstracts of Some Ancient Items from Mecklenburg County Records; Marriage Records and Relationships of Mecklenburg People; List of Public Officials of Mecklenburg County, 1775-1785; First U.S. Census of 1790 by Districts; Tombstone Inscriptions; and Sketches of the Mecklenburg Signers. The work concludes with indexes of subjects and places, as well as a name index of 5,000 persons. (Part III of "Lost Tribes of North Carolina.")
