Such a great book. I can see my copy from my desk. So enjoyed that book.

Ever have a chance to read ‘ Paul Revere and the World he lived in ‘ by Esther Forbes?

Also, in regard to Warren not interested in full independence - weren't there many founding father who believed the same but eventually realized it was the only course of action left us?

Yes I enjoyed Esther Forbes book about Revere as well as Johnny Tremain where she worked Warren in as the doctor who helped Johnny with his scarred hand. I hate to admit it, but I checked JT out as a fourth grader, didn't finish it; checked it out as a fifth grader, didn't finish it; finally completed it as an adult after my daughter had read it. There's a book I've read recently Declaration by William Hogeland, that kind of turns the American Revolution into a proto-Marxist event, but he really puts the ultimate decision very late in the process by emphasizing the role of John Dickinson of Pennsylvania ( the author of Notes by a Pennsylvania Farmer )
