Frontier of Revolution – Berkshire County and America’s Democratic Foundations

From the first open resistance to British authority, patriots’ daring capture of Fort Ticonderoga, and exposing the traitor Benedict Arnold, to abolishing slavery, farmers’ protests, and insistence on popular constitution-making, Historian Justin Jackson reveals how the Berkshires proved a frontier of revolution – and built our nation’s foundations as a democratic republic, conceived in liberty.
