In 1776, signing the Declaration of Independence was an act of insurrection against Great Britain. Who were these fifty-six men who risked it all? Some names are familiar, like Benjamin Franklin and John Adams. But what about the rest, like Caesar Rodney or Button Gwinnett? Joyce Haworth has their stories: who they were, what role they played, and what consequences they suffered after they signed.
