Bookroo's summary
In a world of ruffled shirts and grand horsemen, one man stands apart. Sam Adams, a plainspoken rebel, scorns the norms and challenges the King's authority. Discover how his defiance shapes a nation on the brink of revolution. Will his unconventional ways inspire change or lead to downfall?
From the publisher
This lively biography, by Newbery Honor-winning author Jean Fritz, is a nice, personal look at a leader and his times. In early America, when all the men wore ruffled shirts and rode grandly on horseback, one man refused to follow suit. He was the rebel leader Sam Adams, a plainspoken gent who scorned ruffles, refused to ride a horse, and had little regard for the King.
