Overview

An entertaining and essential collection of stories about the surprising and strange fates of the thirty-nine statesmen who created the U.S. Constitution.

Now in paperback with a brand-new cover, this companion volume to Signing Their Lives Awaytells the untold stories of the signers of the U.S. Constitution and comes at a time when our constitutional rights are at the forefront of everyone's minds.

Remember when our elected officials knew how to compromise? Here are short, irreverent, fun, and fact-filled biographies of the 39 men who set aside their differences and signed their names to the U.S. Constitution--the oldest written constitution of any nation in the world. You'll meet:

- The Signer Who Believed in Aliens
- The Signer Who Was Shot in the Stomach
- The Signer Who Went Bankrupt
- The Peg-Legged Signer
- And many more colorful colonists

Complete with portraits of every signatory, Signing Their Rights Awayprovides an entertaining and enlightening narrative for students, history buffs, politicos, and Hamiltonfans alike.
