Synopsis

"The story of one of Americas first true patriots"

Everyone knows Revolutionary War figures George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Paul Revere, but Haym Salomon was also an important hero, and his accomplishments are finally gaining recognition in this biography that will entertain as it introduces its unique subject. Haym was one of the few Jewish patriots of the time. His knowledge of languages and currencies made him an exceptional man in pre-Revolution New York.

Incredibly valuable to the revolutionary cause, Haym risked his life and his fortune, went to prison, and was forced to abandon his home and family all for the sake of American independence.

Acclaimed author Susan Goldman Rubin, along with illustrator David Slonim, brings Hayms remarkable story to life.
