THE BOSTON TEA PARTY
250th Anniversary / HISTORICALLY ACCURATE FICTION
“With the exception of Samuel Adams, no name is oftener found in connection with the public acts of the day, than that of William Molineux, and his death . . . was a great loss to the patriot cause.”
‒Francis S. Drake, nineteenth-century historian
If not for William Molineux, a man of determined spirit and rowdy imagination, the Boston Tea Party might never have happened. Yet you won’t read about him in most history books—but you will in The Spirit of a Revolution. His fight for freedom is eerily similar to what Americans face in the opening decades of the twenty-first century.
He and next-door neighbor John Hancock engage in illicit trade deals with Holland for a precious commodity—untaxed tea. As Molineux watches seismic changes unfold before him, he must grapple with political issues shaping his daily life. When British troops set up camp within sight of his front door, Molineux springs into action. His rabble-rousing ways dub him the author of the so-called massacre and culminate in the iconic Boston Tea Party.
History comes to life in this family-friendly, liberty-loving novel that seeks to rekindle The Spirit of a Revolution.
