Lives of the Signers of the
Declaration of Independence
Softcover - 384 pages
Price $10.95
In 1776, fifty-six Americans signed a simple
document which unalterably changed the course of this country. Most know of the importance of the Declaration of
Independence, but few know much about its Signers.
This book (originally published in 1848 by
eminent 19 th -century historian, Benson J. Lossing) provides a brief biography of each signer of the
Declaration.
Accompanied by fifty engravings, these
biographies shed light on what Lossing terms, "the chief events in the lives of the men who stood sponsors at
the baptism in blood of our infant republic."
Through this book - long used in American
schools - we, too, can discover the private and public virtues of those venerated Americans who helped create
the most stable and enviable nation in the world.
