Forgotten Founding Fathers: Pennsylvania and Delaware in the American Revolution - Hardcover

This book explores the foundations of our republic, bringing the reader "up close" to ten men from Pennsylvania and Delaware who each played a crucial role in creating the nation and system of government we know today. Robert Morris, John Dickinson, Thomas McKean, Gouverneur Morris, Caesar Rodney, George Read, James Wilson, George Clymer, Thomas Fitzsimons and Gunning Bedford, Jr. were all players in a grand drama as signers of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. They were first-hand participants in this epic struggle and in the debates over how to form "a more perfect union." Forgotten Founding Fathers: Pennsylvania and Delaware in the American Revolution takes you on a fascinating journey through America's formative years, with over 250 full-color images of historic artifacts, documents and paintings highlighting little-known details about their lives, letters, viewpoints and actions, all of which created this miracle we call... America.
