The event/person I chose to read about and comment on is titled "The Firebands" and Samuel Adams. I didn't know a great deal about the man, but I love the beer, so I thought I should get to know him better. According to what I read, in both books, he was an intelligent person, but more importantly, he was a trouble maker and loved to get everyone he could fired up about what the British were doing. He, along with Patrick Henry, and Thomas Paine were the three biggest antagonists against the British.
