Founding Fathers: Uncommon Heroes

In Founding Fathers Uncommon Heroes, respected author Steven W. Allen gloriously brings to life the American Revolutionary heroes: from visionary attorney John Adams to sage philosopher and inventor Ben Franklin; from idealistic author, statesman and architect Thomas Jefferson to the Father of Our Country, the gallant General George Washington; and from inspiring speaker and lawyer Patrick Henry to the persistent and studious Father of the Constitution, James Madison. Steve Allen s most stirring achievement, Founding Fathers Uncommon Heroes, reveals how philosophers became heroes, how ideas became their weapons, and how a scattered group of weak colonies became the United States of America through the lives and actions of these most uncommon heroes.
