Description

Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, Adams and Madison: The Founders, an intimate coterie of daring, brilliant men to whom America's birth is credited. But behind them stood a nation of people who fought a war of independence. Placing these other founders alongside the celebrated set, Raphael follows the careers of seven vivid characters - some notable, some lowly - to present a sweeping new history of the Founding era, from the beginnings of the unrest in 1761 to the Bill of Rights.
