Young is senior research fellow at the Newberry Library in Chicago and professor emeritus of history at Northern Illinois University. Here he tells what it was really like at Griffin's Wharf on that famous night of December 16, 1773, when a band of patriots dumped the cargo of three British ships into the harbor. He tells the story by recounting the hitherto-obscure life of George Hewes, a struggling cobbler - an ordinary person involved in an extraordinary historical event, the Boston Tea Party.
