Summary of Denise Kiernan & Joseph D'Agnese's Signing Their Lives Away

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The state motto Live Free or Die is one of the least-subtle state mottos in the United States, and the signers from New Hampshire, especially Josiah Bartlett, lived by this phrase.

#2 Bartlett’s political career took him out of medicine for a time, but he never abandoned his calling. He was a founder and first president of the New Hampshire Medical Society. His sons and grandsons all went on to become doctors.

#3 William Whipple was a major workhorse in the conflict. He was among the first men to help form the new government in New Hampshire, and he was sent to Philadelphia to serve on the Continental Congress.

#4 The story of Prince illustrates the role that African Americans played in the American Revolution. As many as five thousand blacks may have fought on the patriot side during the revolution.
