Inspiring and Illuminating

Words are powerful. They have the potential to shape lives and legacies, to create heroes and heroines, and to inspire people in the present and the future. Famous words have been spoken and written throughout American history. Sometimes they were spoken in defiance or despair, other times in encouragement or exultation. Many famous quotations came out of the American Revolution and Americans repeated them frequently for more than 250 years—sometimes accurately and sometimes inaccurately.

This book looks at fifty famous quotes of the American Revolution and provides documentation and context for them. Each quote is unique and each one has a story. Some famous quotes were spoken or written in private, while others were articulated publicly. Regardless of their source or circumstances, they have become part of American history and are as relevant today as when first spoken.
