In "The Brave Bostonians, " acclaimed novelist and historian Philip McFarland traces the intertwined lives of three native, and eminently respected, Bostonians during the turbulent year preceding the Revolution: Thomas Hutchinson, the last civilian governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony; Josiah Quincy, an archpatriot and feverish enemy of Hutchinson's loyalism; and Benjamin Franklin, the venerable diplomat, scientist, and devoted Anglophile, who fought with considerable skill to hold the British Empire together before conceding at last to declare himself heart and soul an American. These three men, each fiercely loyal in his own way to Boston and America, stood in separate corners of the conflict. And each found his own fate.Told in skillful style through the words of those who endured the struggles of the times, this book brings fresh life to this stirring period of America's past.
