Overview
In the summer of 1776, a group of 56 men risked their lives and livelihood to defy King George III and sign the Declaration of Independence—yet how many of them do we remember?
Signing Their Lives Away introduces readers to the eclectic group of statesmen, soldiers, slaveholders, and scoundrels who signed this historic document—and the many strange fates that awaited them. To wit:
• George Wythe was poisoned by his nephew.
• Button Gwinnett was killed in a duel.
• Robert Morris went to prison.
• Thomas Lynch was lost at sea.
• Sam Adams achieved fame as a brewer.
Complete with portraits of every signatory, Signing Their Lives Away provides an entertaining and enlightening narrative for history buffs of all ages.
