A very detailed account of the events surrounding the Stamp Act. Covers reactions from various colonies, and reaction in England. Quite readable. (

An excellent, and very readable account of the years surrounding the Stamp Act. Offers both American and British perspectives, and profiles of some of the lesser-known characters in the events. (

Epigraph

Dedication

For E.M.M.

First words

The place was something out of a fairy tale, a ghost town in the wilderness, empty houses lining the street on one side, savage plants creeping toward them to recover their domain, and on the other side -- an enchanted castle, where a gentleman lived with his wife and her young sister.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0807845132, Paperback)

The Stamp Act, the first direct tax on the American colonies, provoked an immediate and violent response. The Stamp Act Crisis, originally published by UNC Press in 1953, identifies the issues that caused the confrontation and explores the ways in which the conflict was a prelude to the American Revolution.
