Full Description
An in-depth examination of the major historical events that occurred at
Independence Hall, Carpenters' Hall, Congress Hall, and Franklin Court, among other park sites, as well as the founding fathers who shaped those
events.
An ideal companion for those who desire more than the
brief overviews presented in tourists' guidebooks.
Lavishly illustrated
with prints from the INHP collections, the book is based on primary
source documents, including
- Journals of Congress;
- Records of the
Pennsylvania Assembly;
- contemporaneous newspaper accounts;
- the diaries
and papers of such founding fathers as Benjamin Franklin, George
Washington, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson; and
- more-recent
scholarship on early American history.
What distinguishes the book from
other similar works is that it's an insider's account of the history
that took place in INHP, written by a former park ranger and now
volunteer who holds a doctorate in early American history and taught the
subject for 35 years at the prep school, undergraduate, and
graduate levels.
