Download or read book American Rebels written by Nina Sankovitch and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2020-03-24 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book In Search of the Father of Thomas Hancock of Farmington Connecticut 1645 1734 written by Reed Hancock Gaddie and published by . This book was released on 2008-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by his genealogist grandmother's insistence concerning inaccuracies in their ancestral records, Reed Hancock Gaddie became consumed by his search for the truth about his family's past-a search that would call into question three centuries of accepted history as well as the ancestry of one of America's Founding Fathers. Gaddie details his visits to Boston and Farmington, as well as his travels to Exeter and Plymouth, England, to sift through historical records and documents and learn the real identity of Thomas Hancock (1645-1734). As it becomes evident that Thomas was not the son of Nathaniel Hancock of Cambridge, Massachusetts, it also becomes clear that John Hancock, leader of the American Revolution and first signer of the Declaration of Independence, may not have been who historians thought. In his painstaking efforts to correct the Hancock ancestral records, Gaddie pieces together Thomas Hancock's fascinating life, including his role in King Philip's war, and reveals the identity and history of Thomas's actual father. Whether you are an armchair historian or one of the sixty-thousand descendants of the Hancock ancestry, you will appreciate this well-documented, compelling account of an immigrant family's sacrifices to escape the tyranny of England and seek religious freedom and a better life in America.
