About this Item
iv, [5]-192 pp. Disbound, light rubberstamp, else Very Good. The second edition of the definitive work on Shays' Rebellion, a signal event in creating support for the Constitution's promise of a stronger national government. In August and September 1786 financially strapped western Massachusetts farmers, whose pleas for the issuance of paper money had gone unheeded, forced the Court of Common Pleas, and then the Supreme Court at Springfield, to adjourn. Shays led the insurgents' charge on the Springfield Armory in January 1787, but they were beaten back. The weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation were thus exposed; the Rebellion spurred adoption of the Constitution. Minot was a founder of the Massachusetts Historical Society, and a prominent lawyer and judge. Howes M651. Sabin 49324. Seller Inventory # 32587
