"A book on the American Revolution that looks at the critical "long year" of 1774, and the revolutionary change that took place from December 1773 to mid-April 1775, from the Boston Tea Party and the first Continental Congress to the Battle of Lexington and Concord."--

That cursed tea -- Divided sentiments -- This barbarous edict -- Times of perplexity, danger, and distress -- Expecting great things -- A ferment throughout the continent -- The brink of a precipice -- A constant state of hot debate -- All our liberties at stake.
