Synopsis "John Adams: Revolutionary Writings 1755-1775 (Loa #213)"
Gordon S. Wood present the first comprehensive selection of John Adams's vitally important writing for the general reader, three fully-annotated volumes charting his entire extraordinary career. Propelled by the power of his pen and the clarity of his judgment, an ambitious young provincial lawyer named John Adams became a major figure in the American Revolution and the new constitutional republic it gave birth to. This first of three volumes gathering his essential writings in cludes the complete newspaper exchange between "Novanglus" (Adams) and "Massachusettensis" (Loyalist Daniel Leonard), as well as extensive diary excerpts and characteristically frank personal letters--many to his "dearest friend" Abigail--that convey the excitement and danger of the mounting crisis with Britain, from the Stamp Act riots of 1765, to the Boston Massacre and Tea Party, to the First Continental Congress, where Adams became a leader of the patriot cause. Two companion Library of America volumes chart the remainder of Adams's life and career; a third presents the letters of Abigail Adams.
