About This Item
Boston: Little, Brown And Company, (2022). First Edition. First Printing Fine in black paper covered boards with gilt text on the spine. A small quarto of 9 1/8 by 6 inches. In a fine, unclipped dust jacket. 421 pages including illustration credits, index, bibliography, extensive end notes and text. Illustrated with a section of color and black and white images of earlier works of art and from photographs. Adams was the first to give voice to the idea of independence from Great Britain. He made an annual recognition to the Boston Massacre; he orchestrated the Boston Tea Party yet he could never be directly linked with any mischief he created.
