On December 16, 1773 a group of Bostonians boarded British merchant ships and dumped thousands of pounds of tea into Boston harbor. This event is known as the Boston Tea Party and was one of many events leading to the American Revolution. The book The Boston Tea Party by Russell Freedman is a great introduction to the causes and effects of this event. The book also includes a bibliography, time line, index, map of Boston, and numerous illustrations. In short, this is a good first book on one of the most significant events in American history.

Tracing The Boston Tea Party, an act of defiance on the part of Boston colonists, against the British taxation of tea, this picture book for older readers, ages 7-10, brings colonial history to life. From the arrival of the Dartmouth, a merchant ship, to the meeting at Old South Church, and the dumping of actual tea, this picture book examines the first steps taken toward the Revolutionary War.
