Présentation de l'éditeur

Newbery Honor author Jean Fritz makes Patrick Henry's history come alive!

Patrick Henry wasn't particularly well spoken. As a lawyer, he mumbled through some of his early cases. But when the issue was freedom, Patrick Henry was transformed into a natural orator. Jean Fritz makes history come alive as she chronicles the life of a man who moved a nation.
