DR. JOSEPH WARREN:

The Boston Tea Party, Bunker Hill, and the Birth of American Liberty
By Dr. Samuel A. Forman

Gretna, LA: Dr. Joseph Warren: The Boston Tea Party, Bunker Hill, and the Birth of American Liberty by Dr. Samuel A. Forman is now available from Pelican Publishing. Joseph Warren, the forgotten founding father, passionately blended ideology and action – organizing the real Boston Tea Party and sending Paul Revere on his iconic ride. He has had a broad and lasting impact, deserving of a more prominent place in American memory. Beloved and famous in his time for his political and military exploits, physician Joseph Warren is now barely remembered as the hero of the Battle of Bunker Hill. Readers will be fascinated by his illicit activities as a resurrectionist obtaining dead bodies for anatomical study, his deep friendship with famous patients like John and Abigail Adams, the spy ring he apparently ran out of his medical practice, an alleged relationship with the stunning wife of the enemy general as his source of military intelligence, and the macabre urban legend of the public display of his remains.

Warren was a humanitarian, devoting his career to improving health care for all, while making real the concepts of liberty and representative government. “Readers will come to appreciate why American presidents as diverse as John Adams and Ronald Reagan thought Warren was one of the greatest of all Americans. Some will be surprised by the nature and extent of this Founders’ involvement in government sponsored health care, issues that resonate with the politics of today,” Forman explains.

Meticulously grounded in original scholarship, this is the definitive biography of American founder Dr. Joseph Warren. Scholar-physician Samuel A. Forman has adapted innovative methods in historiography, medicine, and forensics to produce a rousing volume worthy of its subject.
