John Hancock First to Sign, First to Invest in America's Independence by Willard Sterne Randall

John Hancock First to Sign, First to Invest in America's Independence by Willard Sterne Randall was received directly from the publisher and I chose to review it. John Hancock, a rather famous founding father that no one really seems to know much about as there have been few books or movies about him, until now. This book details all of the major occurrences in the American Revolution. The Boston Tea Party to the battles of Lexington and Concord, onward to the signing of the Declaration of Independence, all had Hancock’s influence. The man helped make America what it was. Funny how I dont recall being taught about him much in the history books. I am not saying he wasnt mentioned, we all know he was the first to sign the Declaration and independence and made his signature legible. I recommend this book to be put on the family library shelves for each child to read at some point.
