1776: A New Look at Revolutionary Williamsburg - Hardcover

1776: A New Look at Revolutionary Williamsburg contains re-enactment photographs of America’s "Revolutionary City" that bring history vividly to life by giving a close-up look at how the war for independence played out for ordinary citizens such as women, blacksmiths, and enslaved people.

Colonial Williamsburg scholars shed fresh light on this vital era in our history with the most recent research and analysis.  Scenes from around the city include a milliner forced to pack up shop, children at play in a courtyard next to soldiers on patrol, and slaves wrenched from family and friends as they leave town with their Loyalist masters.  This exciting, innovative book takes a new look at a familiar topic through the lives of the men and women who would claim America for their own and declare themselves its first citizens.
