John Adams dreams of liberating the thirteen colonies from English rule to form a new nation. Despite his aversion to travel, he embarks on a relentless journey to make this vision a reality. Will his determination be enough to birth the United States of America?

From the publisher

John Adams didn’t enjoy traveling. He much preferred to stay home with his wife and children. But John Adams also had a dream: He wanted to see the thirteen colonies free from English rule. He wanted to see the creation of a new country – the United States of America. John Adams did whatever was needed to make his dream come true.
