King Hancock : the radical influence of a moderate Founding Father / Brooke Barbier.
"Today John Hancock is known for his signature, but during the Revolutionary Era, he was famed for his statesmanship. Brooke Barbier explores Hancock's position as a committed revolutionary who nonetheless understood the value of compromise. By shunning political extremes, Hancock became hugely influential in the infant United States"-- Provided by publisher.
