The Mind of a Revolution: From Resistance to Revolt - Paperback

by Cam Molineux (Author)

In 1774, not every colonist believes

Follow the journey of Edmund Pendleton, one of Virginia's most respected and beloved leaders, as he promotes calm in the midst of turmoil. His colleagues find comfort in the wisdom, grace, and dignity of their senior statesman. But a decade of Britain's missteps makes Pendleton's case, peace without war, more challenging to defend.

As leaders of respective factions, Edmund Pendleton and Patrick Henry each push hard-one for freedom without bloodshed, the other for liberty at any cost. While others are swayed by Henry's call to arms, Pendleton stands firm.

Fate keeps the two men toe-to-toe, first in Philadelphia then back home where Virginia puts Pendleton in charge of Henry's military career.

What will it take to move Pendleton, one of Virginia's most conservative leaders, from resistance to revolution? Before muskets are fired, what fuels the revolt that takes place in the minds of the people?
