The latest book "The Shoemaker and the Tea Party"


It mentions Ebenezer McIntosh, a cobbler who also became "Captain General of the Liberty Tree," a principal 'mob' leader of the resistance to the Stamp Act. He has never been recognized.

His 'mob' was responsible for the Boston Tea Party.

The book is mainly about George Robert Twelves Hewes, also a shoemaker.

"a nobody who briefly became a somebody in the Revolution and, for a moment near the end of his life, a hero"

Dude made shoes until one day he had enough
