The Boston Tea Party

When colonists in Boston grew angry over unfair British taxes on tea, they took bold action. Russell Freedman recounts how disguised protestors marched through the quiet streets of colonial Boston to defend their rights, using careful research and quotes from people who lived back then. Readers witness the rising tensions between Bostonians and British authorities that led to one of America's most famous acts of protest dumping hundreds of chests of tea into the harbor. Detailed watercolor illustrations bring this historic moment to life for young readers.
