This book is a fine art memorial to Joseph Warren and is framed by previously published narrative accounts of the events that gave rise to the Boston rebellion. These works of art are from both early and modern times. Early portraits of Warren portray him as the genteel Boston physician. The paintings and engravings of Warren from the century following his death depict him as the Major General and martyr of the American Revolution. The modern paintings—some of which were commissioned for this book—are narrative portraits of Warren as statesman, revolutionary leader, and fighting patriot.
