Last episode, we broke down the meaning of each line of the Declaration of Independence. Now, let's read about some of the signers from the pen of one of their peers. I'll share snippets from Able and Mighty Men: Biographies of the Men Who Signed the Declaration of Independence, an old 1838 book! It's quite different from any modern biography of the signers.
