1988 Signers of the Declaration: Historic Places Commemorating the Signing of the Declaration of Independence, Editor: Robert G. Ferris (read 9 Mar 1986) This is a Government book giving short biographies of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. It also told of buildings associated with them, but I cheated on the accounts of the houses since I read the descriptions very fast. The biographies were interesting.
