| A Splendid Biography of a Forgotten Founding Father | In the collection of biographies on the Founding Fathers, there are a plethora to choose from concerning George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin; a good selection concerning John Adams, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton; and a sufficient number concerning John Jay, Samuel Adams, and James Monroe.
One recognizable name that does seem to have been lost to the American memory is John Hancock. If not for his signature on the Declaration of Independence, Hancock’s name might be nearly forgotten along with most of the other 55 signers of the founding document.
It isn’t right that a man such as Hancock should be so scarcely remembered. Historian Brooke Barbier looks to correct this insufficient recollection of one of America’s most important founders. In her new biography, “King Hancock: The Radical Influence of a Moderate Founding Father,” she brings the famous unknown man back to life with a grace and skill fitting of a person who wished to not only be remembered, but loved by his fellow patriots and citizens. | | |
