Founding Fathers: The Men Behind the Nation Book

They were an eclectic group of men, but they shared a common goal: an independent nation with freedom and liberty for all. They were neither a uniform nor purely cohesive group. In fact, each felt free to take independent positions, to speak out and stand his own ground - in short, they epitomized the American spirit. These men became known as the Founding Fathers of the United States of America. From the first stirrings of the American Revolution to the formation and early years of the Republic - here are the stories of the men who led America to independence.

Illustrated with hundreds of reproductions of historic documents and rare paintings, this book is a true celebration of our nation's Founding Fathers and their enduring imprint on a nation.
