Richly illustrated,
Independence: A Guide to Historic Philadelphia reveals the fascinating stories of the persons, both the famous and the obscure, who experienced the early years of
the new nation in America's first capital. Based on meticulous research,
Independence walks its readers through the lives of the residents and visitors of the revolutionary city, and
through the streets and buildings that they knew, exploring the dozens of buildings that make up Independence National Historical Park and connects these with neighboring sites that are also
intimately associated with the story of America's birth.
