About this listen

In 1774, Boston’s streets erupted in fury when a British loyalist, John Malcom, struck a shoemaker and threatened a child. What followed was one of the most brutal real-life uprisings you've never heard of — complete with mobs, torches, and a chilling demand at the Liberty Tree.


📜 This is a true story, preserved in the February 4, 1774 edition of The New-Hampshire Gazette — and long buried in America’s forgotten archives.


Welcome to *What Shall We Read*, where we bring shocking true stories from the world’s historical records back to life through immersive narration and cinematic visuals.
