The author meticulously examines their contributions to the American Revolution, emphasizing their crucial roles in the formation of the Continental Congress and the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Beyond their political achievements, the book sheds light on their personal lives, tracing their families, careers, and social standing within the vibrant community of colonial Rhode Island. Through detailed accounts of their personal letters, diaries, and public pronouncements, the author paints a compelling portrait of these two men. The book delves into their complex personalities, highlighting Hopkins's unwavering commitment to liberty and his fierce independence, and Ellery's sharp wit, keen intellect, and deep philosophical interests.

- Biography and Autobiography
This brochure is presented by the Rhode Island Society of the Sons of the American Revolution as a token of its deep gratitude to Stephen Hopkins and William Ellery, the Rhode Island signers of the Declaration of Independence. We seek to perpetuate their memory, not because they won the laurel chaplet on the fields of battle, but because for twenty years before the first gun was fired in the Revolution they fought the fight for the rights and liberties of the American colonies, and with others of like loyalty and power brought these colonies together into a close union, prepared by the fire and blood of armed conflict to be welded into a nation.
Our organization is not established for self-aggrandizement. We are members not in order to set ourselves apart as a peculiar class of noble ancestry, but to fix in the minds of future generations the deeds and memory of those who contributed to the success of the American Revolution. In honoring them we shall breed a higher sense of honor in ourselves. In contemplating their labors we shall feel impelled to continue their efforts toward building a righteous nationality and shall consecrate ourselves anew to liberty and freedom and popular government among the peoples scattered over the face of the earth.
