Warren was a member of the first three provincial congresses held in Massachusetts (1774–75), president of the third, and an active member of the Massachusetts Committee of Public Safety. On June 14, 1775, he was chosen a major general, but three days later he was killed in the Battle of Bunker Hill (Breed’s Hill). (from Britannica) Author Richard Frothingham Jr. (1812 – 1880) was a Massachusetts historian, journalist, and politician. Frothingham was a proprietor and managing editor of The Boston Post. He served in the Massachusetts House of Representatives, and as mayor of Charlestown, Massachusetts.

Giving rave review to this professional seller because of communication after I placed my order mistakenly. The sale was reversed and I was refunded almost immediately, which is just the way it ought to be in a good marketplace with an excellent seller. And that was the case here, but I don't take it for granted! Five stars! Thanks, Aardvark! I'll be back.
