John Adams: Independence Forever

Heroes of History

By: Janet Benge, Geoff Benge

Narrated by: Tim Gregory

Written for listeners age 10 and up—enjoyed by adults!

John's heart sank. A British man-of-war was plowing through the frigid waters of the Atlantic Ocean in hot pursuit of his ship. If the British caught up with the Boston, John would be hanged. He had proudly signed the Declaration of Independence and was carrying the colonies' secret papers. He couldn't be captured now!

Growing up in Massachusetts, longing to be a farmer like his father, John Adams never imagined the vital role he would one day play in the transformation of the colonies into an independent American nation. As the injustices of British rule stirred up the colonists to revolution and independence, this rising young lawyer became and influential member of the Continental Congress and a passionate advocate for freedom.

As a foreign diplomat for the young United States, first vice president, and second president, this true American patriot held firmly to his integrity and left an uncompromising legacy: independence forever.

A powerful story of one of our great Founding Fathers.

The narrator did a fantastic job. The story was engaging and I learned about the many sacrifices made for America's freedom. I loved this book!

Freedom!

This is an awesome view of how the USA come to be. It is tough for History classes to present each person’s point of view that was involved in such great history, so, stories like this sure help paint the canvas of the making of AMERICA!!!!!!
