Just in time for America’s 250th birthday, Jim’s new recording reveals the lives and hearts of the people caught up in the fight for American independence. 1776: CHAMPIONS OF INDEPENDENCE allows these fascinating people TO TELL THEIR STORIES IN THEIR OWN WORDS, as Jim’s acclaimed storytelling incorporates historical detail taken directly from their letters and journals.
Be in the courtroom when John Adams takes an unpopular stand for justice by defending British soldiers accused of perpetrating the Boston Massacre; struggle through snowy mountains and across treacherous ice with bookseller-turned-artillery-master Henry Knox, bringing George Washington the cannons he desperately needs; ride with Paul Revere on his famous midnight ride; speak out for women’s rights in a man’s world with Abigail Adams and Mercy Otis Warren; and face the bayonets of fearsome British redcoats on the smoky slopes of Bunker Hill.
