Author Talk: Daniel Bullen on Daniel Shays's Honorable Rebellion

About the Program

On the book: "In a meticulously researched narrative, Daniel Bullen tells the story from the people's point of view, and finds a story of regular people who banded together and kept the peace for five months of protests, as they protected their land and liberties from the powerful financiers and speculators who were abusing their power and seeking to profit at their expense."

On January 25, 1787, veterans and farmers marched down Chicopee Street en route to the Springfield Armory.
