Each of the fifty-six men who signed the Declaration of Independence risked his life as a traitor to the British crown, yet many of them have been all but lost to history. And that's a shame, because they're a fascinating and eclectic bunch! But now Denise Kiernan and Joseph D'Agnese have compiled mini-biographies of all fifty-six--the famous and the unheardof alike. Lighthearted and enlightening, Signing Their Lives Away valiantly brings these forgotten patriots to life, revealing their life stories and reveling in their eccentricities. What fun for history buffs!
