FW05189 / SH 5189 - These are the voices of the American Revolution - the eloquent voices raised by leaders on both sides of the ocean who warned of the coming crisis and fought the fight their consciences dictated. They fought their oratorical battles in the law courts, in Parliament and in colonial legislative halls, in town meeting, and in Congress. At last, when further talk seemed futile, they took up their muskets and fought on the battlefields of Brooklyn Heights and Princeton, at Saratoga and at Cowpens, at Montreal and at Yorktown.
