"With the exception of Samuel Adams, no name is oftener found in connection with the public acts of the day, than that of William Molineux, and his death ... was a great loss to the patriot cause."
‒Francis S. Drake, nineteenth-century historianIf not for William Molineux, a man of determined spirit and rowdy imagination, the Boston Tea Party might never have happened. His fight for freedom is eerily similar to what Americans face in the opening decades of the twenty-first century.
He and next-door neighbor John Hancock engage in illicit trade deals with Holland for a precious commodity--untaxed tea. When British troops set up camp within sight of Molineux's front door, he springs into action. His rabble-rousing ways lead to his being dubbed the author of the so-called Boston Massacre and culminate in the iconic Boston Tea Party.
