December 25, 2022 Booknotes + : Stacy Schiff, "The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams"
Stacy Schiff has written books about Benjamin Franklin, Cleopatra, and the Witches of Salem.

Her book is titled "The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams." Mr. Adams was born in Boston and lived for 81 years from 1722 to 1803. He's also been called the most Puritan and the most populist of the American Founders. If you met him before his forty-first birthday, according to author Schiff, you probably wouldn't consider him much of a success.
