Book excerpt: George Robert Twelves Hewes was present at both the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party, and during the war he fought as a militiaman and privateer. In the 1830s a new generation of Americans became interested in the struggles of the Revolutionary period, and Hewes—by then one of the last survivors of the American Revolution—was "rediscovered." Published 60 years after the Boston Tea Party, this biography of Hewes gives the impressions of a common person of the revolution reflecting on his participation at the end of his life.
