    About this ebook

    Richard Lee Bradshaws well-received first book, Gods Battleaxe, the Life of Lord President Bradshawe, told the little-known story of a 17th century Englishman who rebelled against his King in defense of liberty. In this second book Bradshaw tells the story of an 18th century English politician observing the day-to-day unraveling of Britains control over their North American Colonies. As his countrys policies fail his own life and fortune spins out of control leading ultimately to his suicide on the eve of the American War of Independence. Townshends colonial taxation policies are refused and once again Englishmen rebel against their King in defense of Liberty. Americans fourteenth Colony is proposed, chartered, and then lost, leaving behind the disappointed ambitions of The Lord Chamberlain of England, The Lord Chancellor, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Bradshaw the subject of this biography.

    Richard Lee Bradshaw

    During a twenty-four year residence in London Richard Lee Bradshaw devoted himself to studies in art, genealogy, and British history, particularly the 1642 - 1776 period of English American colonization. He studied English watercolor techniques and achieved success in having his paintings accepted for the Royal Academy Open show and the Royal Society of Painters in Watercolour in 1986. He began writing in 1990, contributing to Margaret Hyde’s 1996 book Thomas Arden of Faversham, and publishing articles on the East India Company’s Nepalese War of 1815. He has been a member of the London’s Institute of Historical Research, The Society of Genealogists, and The Royal Society of Painters in Watercolour.
