Ebenezer Mudgett and the Pine Tree Riot: A true story of New Hampshire colonists who defied British rule in the spring of 1772, foreshadowing the Boston Tea Party

By Connie Evans

Book Overview

What does it take for law-abiding men to risk their lives and their families' livelihoods in favor of rising against the long arm of a powerful king and government? The odious pine tree law had pushed Ebenezer Mudgett, a forty-six-year old liquor merchant, and his friends, normally circumspect and honorable colonists, to the breaking point. On April 14, 1772, Ebenezer and a small group of resolute settlers helped to ignite the fuse that would lead to a bloody revolution, and ultimately, the independence of millions of Americans.
