Signing Their Lives Away by Denise Kiernan

3.0

A brief sketch of the lives of the men who signed the Declaration of Independence. Each essay was written as if it were the only one you might read, so some of the information can become a bit repetitive. Generally withheld judgment regarding lifestyles, including the number of slaves that may or may not have been owned, but still maintaining a modern day contempt for the practice. Nicely balanced. Interesting, and a good way to celebrate the 4th of July (which should be either the 2nd of July or 2nd of August, apparently. I'm okay with celebrating all three, purely in the interest of being the most fair, of course).
