| Summary | "The Siege of Boston" by Allen French is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the significant events leading up to and during the Siege of Boston, a pivotal period in American history that played a crucial role in the Revolutionary War. Through its exploration of political tensions and military engagements, the narrative centers on the collective struggle of the American colonists against British rule, with key figures such as Samuel Adams taking prominent roles in the unfolding drama. At the start of the narrative, the backdrop of Boston is depicted during a time of growing unrest and conflict. French outlines the historical conditions that contributed to the siege, emphasizing the conflict between the colonists and the British crown, particularly under King George III's reign. The opening chapters delve into events such as the Writs of Assistance, the Stamp Act, and public outcry against British taxation and military presence, setting the stage for the eventual siege. The characters and societal dynamics of Boston at the time are introduced, illustrating how everyday citizens became embroiled in the revolutionary fervor that would ultimately define a nation.
