The Adams Papers at the Massachusetts Historical Society

With brilliantly clear full-color illustrations on almost every page, this volume showcases Adams-related manuscripts from the collections at the Massachusetts Historical Society. The selections are grouped in four chapters?including one on John and Abigail?s famous correspondence and another highlighting John?s contributions to the Revolution?and each chapter provides short explanations of historical context. The print quality of this book is so high that looking at the reproduction is as near as possible to looking at the original. This book represents only a fraction of the important and fascinating documents in the collection, but they are generally the most well-known items. Some have been elevated both in the scholarly world and in the popular mind to the status of icons. Look, read, and enjoy this sample of the intimate writings of a remarkable American family.
