Lives and honor did indeed hang in the balance, yet just what were their fortunes? How much did the Founders stand to gain or lose through independence? And what lingering consequences did their respective financial stakes have on liberty, justice, and the fate of the fledgling United States of America?"--Provided by the publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   American Fork Library Non-fiction 973.3 Ran Checked In Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
