From the Publisher:
After seeing the musical 1776, I was entertainingly educated about the drafting of the Declaration of Independence. I saw much humor in our Founding Fathers' quirks, and was intrigued by their relationships to one another. I picked up DECISION IN PHILADELPHIA and was captivated once again, this time by the 55 men who came together to write the document that helped shaped our newly independent nation. The battles that were waged and the compromises that were made during the Constitutional Convention are captivatingly retold in this robust book, which also contains a complete copy of the Constitution.
--Stacey Witcraft, Advertising Manager
