About this audiobook
John Hancock — the bold merchant prince whose legendary signature dared a king and whose steady hand helped guide Massachusetts through the fire of revolution.
In this 5-episode deep dive, we explore the full story behind the oversized signature: his theatrical flair on the day of the Declaration, his firm-yet-merciful handling of Shays’ Rebellion as governor, his leadership during the Constitution’s ratification despite crippling gout, and the massive funeral that briefly united a divided Boston.
From one of the richest men in the colonies to President of the Continental Congress, Hancock risked everything for independence. This series reveals the flamboyant yet pragmatic leader who supplied the Continental Army and became a stabilizing force in the early republic.
Perfect for students of the American Revolution and anyone fascinated by the larger-than-life personalities who helped birth a nation.
