The Arson of the "Peggy Stewart" and the Annapolis (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781024022513)

"The Arson of the 'Peggy Stewart' and the Annapolis" recounts a pivotal event in the lead-up to the American Revolution. Richard D. Fisher details the burning of the brig "Peggy Stewart" in Annapolis, Maryland, as a dramatic act of defiance against British trade policies. This event, mirroring the Boston Tea Party, galvanized colonial resistance and symbolized the growing unrest against British rule.

Fisher's account offers a detailed look at the political climate of the time and the individuals involved in this act of rebellion. The narrative captures the spirit of the era and highlights the courage and determination of the colonists who were willing to risk everything for their freedom. This historical work provides valuable insights into the causes of the American Revolution and the early struggles for independence.
