Sam Adams was not interested in acting fancy just because other important men did. Ruffles, polished manners, and even horseback riding could wait; he had a revolution to help stir up. Jean Fritz turns this Revolutionary-era biography into a funny, personal portrait of a stubborn Boston patriot who challenged British authority and helped push colonial resistance forward. The book uses one amusing habit, Adams’s refusal to ride a horse, as a doorway into bigger history. Readers meet a leader who was plainspoken, determined, and not always easy to persuade. With lively illustrations, it is a smart introduction to one of the bold voices behind the American Revolution.
