George Twelvetrees Hewes wasn't a midget, but he was
close. After his funny exploits during the American Revolution, he
wrote a journal, and the author uses this journal to weave his tantalizing
true story of those great and little known characters who won our
independence from England. People like Revere, John Adams and Hancock
were not considered heroes by their conpatriots, wheres the eccentric
Otis and the crafty Warren were the real leaders, their names are
almost forgotten now. A real insight into the courage, humor and day-to-day
lives of our revolutionaries. |
