Why read it?
1 author picked 1774 as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
George Washington didn’t sign the Declaration of Independence because he was already too busy fighting for it. Americans have become so focused on 1776, but the American Revolution was a long time coming. Mary Beth Norton does an excellent job of focusing on a pivotal year.
From Alexis' list on George Washington.
