Join us for an exciting evening with celebrated writer Stephen Puleo, author of
Dark Tide, A City So Grand, and
The Boston Italians, as he debuts his new book,
American Treasures: The Secret Efforts to Save the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Gettysburg Address. Puleo's sixth book alternates between the perilous WWII years and key moments throughout American history in which the documents are debated, created, threatened, rescued, preserved, and indelibly stamped upon the national psyche.
"Stephen Puleo once again educates, enlightens, and entertains us, this time through the history of the most important documents of our democracy. A tour de force based on exhaustive research into both primary and secondary sources, he tells the miraculous stories of the survival of the most precious evidence of our freedom thanks to, until now the unsung heroes and heroines of our past." - David S. Ferriero, Archivist of the United States.
