James Hawkes

""A Retrospect of the Boston Tea Party: With a Memoir of George R. T. Hewes"" is a historical account of the events leading up to the Boston Tea Party and the aftermath, as well as a biography of George R. T. Hewes, one of the participants in the protest. Written by James Hawkes and originally published in 1834, the book provides a detailed and firsthand account of the events that took place on December 16, 1773, when a group of American colonists, disguised as Native Americans, boarded three British ships and destroyed their cargo of tea in protest of British taxation policies. The book also includes a biography of Hewes, a Boston shoemaker who played a significant role in the Tea Party and other revolutionary activities. The memoir provides insight into Hewes' life and his experiences during the American Revolution, shedding light on the motivations and actions of the colonists who fought for their independence from Britain. Overall, ""A Retrospect of the Boston Tea Party"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the American Revolution and the events that led to the birth of the United States of America.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
