Wives of the Signers

This historical reprint, excerpted from The Pioneer Mothers of America, describes those women who, alongside their husbands, experienced the trials and triumphs of the struggle for independence and the challenge of building a new nation. Though they did not confront the hail of bullets or cannon, though they did not participate in conventions or congresses, they were at the heart of every soul-stirring historic event. This is a book about the heart of America.
