1774

In "1774: The Long Year," acclaimed historian Mary Beth Norton presents a detailed exploration of the transformative events leading up to the American Revolutionary War. Drawing on extensive research, including pamphlets and personal correspondence, Norton examines how colonists began to shift from loyalty to King George III to a resolve for independence, particularly during the critical months of 1774. This pivotal year encapsulates the growing discord among colonists and the grassroots movements that ultimately paved the way for revolution, all vividly captured in this masterful work.
