Book Description
Excerpt from Biography of the Signers to the Declaration of Independence, Vol. 9 To censure a just pride of ancestry would be to lessen the incentives of virtue; and since he who was the idol of a people's worship has declared, even when holding up to scorn the folly of aristocracy, that the glory of our forefathers is a light to their posterity, it may be permitted to observe, that Richard Henry Lee traces his descent from one of the most ancient and distinguished families in Virginia.

Lives of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence
Author: Benson John LossingPublisher: Tales End Press
ISBN: 162358017X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 453
Book Description
The fifty-six signers of America's Declaration of Independence risked their “lives, fortunes, and sacred honor” to found a new country. In this classic work, Benson J. Lossing describes the lives of each of the founding fathers, their greatest achievements, and what impelled them to take such an incredible risk. While some are well known to us – Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Hancock – much of the pleasure in this book comes from reading about the lesser-known signers, and about the many challenges they faced throughout their lives in the young United States. Appendices contain Thomas Jefferson's original version of the Declaration, an analysis of its grievances, the subsequent Articles of Confederation and US Constitution, and the offending Stamp Act. This ebook edition includes an active table of contents, reflowable text, and 50 period engravings of the faces and signatures of the signers.
