"George Twelvetrees Hewes wasn't a midget, but he was close. After his funny exploits during the American Revolution, he wrote a journal, and the author uses this journal to weave his tantalizing true story of those great and little known characters who won our independence from England. People like Revere, John Adams and Hancock were not considered heroes by their co-patriots, whereas the eccentric Otis and the crafty Warren were the real leaders, their names are almost forgotten now. A real insight into the courage, humor and day-to-day lives of our revolutionaries."

From the Inside Flap:

This book was prepared not only to give you an insight into the true character of the heroes and villains active in the early stages of the American revolution, but to introduce you to some of the characters who got little or no publicity then or now, yet played a vital part in the rebellion-and to provide information on some of the hilarity and hardships experienced by the average yankee as he struggled for freedom in enemy-controlled New England.
