Description

A gripping account of the Boston Massacre, illustrated in a graphic-fiction style. By March 5, 1770, it used to be dangerous to be a soldier in Boston. Colonial businessmen opposed the taxes imposed by Great Britain. The Sons of Liberty ruled the town thru boycotts and riots. British troops were sent to offer protection to lives and property. On that past due winter day, a British private found himself harassed by street toughs. Then up from the docks came sailors and ruffians armed with clubs and cutlasses. Soldiers from the British 29th Regiment of Foot came to disperse the mob. Threats made, stones thrown, then … gunfire. In spare, gripping language, creator-illustrator Timothy Decker describes the tense, violent disagreement between Boston’s offended colonists and soldiers, in addition to the legal aftermath that underscored the rule of thumb of law.
