Book Review Lives of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence by Benson Lossing

Lives of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence
Title: Lives of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence

Author: Benson Lossing

Stars: 4 out of 5

Review:
I enjoyed this book very as it put forth a brief synopsis of the lives of individuals who risked not only their property but their very lives in securing America's freedom. They confronted the most powerful country in the world as a rag tag fledgling want to be independent country and succeeded. It would serve as a good primary or reminder, depending on your age, for anyone interested in U.S. history.

I did notice some grammatical errors but they did not distract from the overall gist of the book.

I rated this book four stars.

I obtained this book from Amazon in Kindle format.
Thank you Frank for the Review

 Synopsis: 

While most children grasp the importance of America's Declaration of Independence, few experience the lives of its multifarious signatories. Few read of the trials & tribulations of those who risked their "lives, fortunes & sacred honor" for the liberty we dearly cherish. LIVES OF THE SIGNERS OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, originally published in 1848, provides a brief biography of each of these men. These biographies, accompanied by fifty engravings, illuminate "the chief events in the lives of the men who stood sponsors at the baptism of blood of our infant republic." Children will rediscover the private & public virtues of America's most venerated fathers; they will relive the creation of the most stable & enviable nation in the world. LIVES OF THE SIGNERS also offers an instructive survey of the causes of Independence, simplifying the Declaration with discussion & analysis for each grievance. An excellent tool for the promising young scholar, & a worthy addition to any library.
