The True Life Stories of the Declaration of Independence Signers

This eBook has been formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. The venerated emigrants who first planted America, and most of their distinguished successors who laid the foundation of our civil liberty, have found a resting place in the peaceful grave. But the virtues which adorned both these generations; their patience in days of suffering; the courage and patriotic zeal with which they asserted their rights; and the wisdom they displayed in laying the foundations of our government; will be held in lasting remembrance.Table of Contents: John HancockSamuel AdamsJohn AdamsRobert Treat PaineElbridge GerryJosiah BartlettWilliam WhippleMatthew ThorntonStephen HopkinsWilliam ElleryRoger ShermanSamuel HuntingtonWilliam WilliamsOliver WolcottWilliam FloydPhilip LivingstonFrancis LewisLewis MorrisHenry MisnerRichard StocktonJohn WitherspoonFrancis HopeinsonJohn HartAbraham ClarkRobert MorrisBenjamin RushBenjamin FranklinJohn MortonGeoge ClymerJames SmithGeorge TaylorJames WilsonGeorge RossCaesar RodneyGeorge ReadThomas M'KeanSamuel ChaseWilliam PacaThomas StoneCharles CarrollGeorge WytheRichard Henry LeeThomas JeffersonBenjamin HarrisonThomas Nelson, JunFrancis Lightfoot LeeCarter BraxtonWilliam HooperJoseph HewesJohn PennEdward RutledgeThomas HeywardThomas Lynch, JunArthur MiddletonButton GwinnettLyman HallGeorge Walton
