ARCHIVES is an online bookstore specializing in literature from and about the American Revolutionary War. The American Revolution of 1765 - 1791 played host to one of the most impressive collections of minds the world has ever seen together at one time. Thomas Jefferson. John Adams. Benjamin Franklin. Alexander Hamilton. James Madison. These intellectual giants gave this country some of its greatest writings on political philosophy, inherent rights, and much more, such as "Notes on the State of Virginia" and "The Federalist Papers" (to name just a couple). Their collection of works gives us an invaluable insight into the minds of these revolutionary framers and how they came to their conclusions on rights, liberty, and independence. Through modern authors like Gordon S. Wood, Joseph J. Ellis, David McCollough, and others, the American Revolution comes alive in the works curated below.
