John ADams: Join or Die (Nov, 2009)

If he believed in something, few of our Founding Fathers could bring more passion to the cause than John Adams. During the difficult years when the 13 Colonies itched for more freedom and more respect but didn't quite believe it was going to require a break from Great Britain to gain, Adams became a strong voice for independence. Having convinced his fellow colonists to fight, he spent decades in public service to ensure that our young nation had every chance to succeed. This November issue not only focuses on the life author, lawyer, diplomat, Founding Father, vice president, president, husband, and father John Adams, but it also looks at the other many noteworthy Adams family members, from wife Abigail to great-grandsons.
