Elizabeth Winslow: Lost Letters of the American Revolution, Gebunden

Klappentext

"What if the American Revolution could speak for itself?"

Buried in archives and forgotten for centuries, the voices of the Revolution are finally revealed in Lost Letters of the American Revolution. This extraordinary collection of over 100 authentic letters reveals the untold human drama behind America's fight for independence.

Here are the words they never meant for us to see: spies sending coded messages in lemon juice, desperate mothers begging Congress for food and shelter, soldiers marching to their deaths, and enslaved men pleading for the liberty they were promised but denied. Within these pages lies the infamous letter from Benedict Arnold - the treachery that nearly "sold our nation" to the British.

Not polished speeches or patriotic slogans, but raw confessions written in fear, longing, love, and betrayal. Together they weave a story of ordinary people caught in extraordinary times - patriots, Loyalists, daughters, deserters, and heroes history forgot.

Suspenseful, intimate, and unforgettable, Lost Letters of the American Revolution is history as you've never read it before.

���� Perfect for history lovers, educators, reenactors, and anyone who wants to experience the Revolution through the eyes of those who lived it.
