About this listen
Crispus Attucks was the major figure in the early struggle for American independence. A sailor who rallied Bostonians to walk into certain death from an assembled firing squad of British Regulars. His ethnic background was half African American and half Native American. He was born into slavery in 1723 and escaped his enslavement to become a dockyard worker, a whaler and a contract farmer.
His actions, at what has been describe as the Boston Massacre, on March 5, 1770 in front of Custom House, on King Street, Boston, Massachusetts Bay Colony, England were so noted and heroic that he was buried with all his other honored American brethren in the Granary Burial Grounds. Imagine a fugitive slave laid to rest next to such noted Bostonians as John Hancock and James Otis.
This book and the story it tells is a work of historical fiction based on fact, which strives to give the listener a sense of who Crispus Attucks was and his life’s journey that led him to the momentous moment of standing before the British Military with other patriots at the very beginning of American independence and the American Revolution.
