56 Days, 56 Delegates

Fifty-six days — from Richard Henry Lee's resolution on June 7, 1776 to the signing of the Declaration of Independence on August 2. Fifty-six delegates — the famous and the forgotten, told together.

Documented history. Unlike the Founders & Voices essays, these are straightforward biographies drawn from the public record — not imagined voices. Every profile is grounded in primary and archival sources, noted on each card.
