Founding Fathers: Uncommon Heroes

In Founding Fathers Uncommon Heroes, respected author Steven W. Allen gloriously brings to life the American Revolutionary 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.
