But the history of the event has always obscured a fascinating truth: the Massacre arose from conflicts that were as personal as they were political. Historian Serena Zabin weaves colorful stories from original sources, following British troops as they are dispatched from Ireland to Boston in 1768 to subdue the increasingly rebellious colonists. She reveals a forgotten world hidden in plain sight: the many regimental wives and children who accompanied the troops. We see these families jostling with Bostonians for living space, finding common cause in the search for a lost child, trading barbs, and and sharing baptisms--becoming, in other words, neighbors. When soldiers shot unarmed citizens in the street, it was such intensely human, now broken bonds that fueled what quickly became a bitterly fought American Revolution." --   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 973.3113 Za Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.3113 Zabin Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.3113 Za Checked In Add Copy to MyList
