The bestselling author of In the Heart of the Sea, Valiant Ambition, and In the Hurricane's Eye tells the story of the Boston battle that ignited the American Revolution, in this "masterpiece of narrative and perspective." (Boston Globe)

Boston in 1775 is an island city occupied by British troops after a series of incendiary incidents by patriots who range from sober citizens to thuggish vigilantes. After the Boston Tea Party, British and American soldiers and Massachusetts residents have warily maneuvered around each other until April 19, when violence finally erupts at Lexington and Concord. In June, however, with the city cut off from supplies by a British blockade and Patriot militia poised in siege, skirmishes give way to outright war in the Battle of Bunker Hill. It would be the bloodiest battle of the Revolution to come, and the point of no return for the rebellious colonists.

Philbrick brings a fresh perspective to every aspect of the story. He finds new characters, and new facets to familiar ones. The real work of choreographing rebellion falls to a thirty-three year old physician named Joseph Warren who emerges as the on-the-ground leader of the Patriot cause and is fated to die at Bunker Hill. Others in the cast include Paul Revere, Warren's fianc the poet Mercy Scollay, a newly recruited George Washington, the reluctant British combatant General Thomas Gage and his more bellicose successor William Howe, who leads the three charges at Bunker Hill and presides over the claustrophobic cauldron of a city under siege as both sides play a nervy game of brinkmanship for control.

With passion and insight, Philbrick reconstructs the revolutionary landscape--geographic and ideological--in a mesmerizing narrative of the robust, messy, blisteringly real origins of America.

Fixes flats and old tires like a charm
Style: 1 gal
This stuff is awesome. If you have tractor tires, ATV tires, bike, tires, hell, any tires that hold air. This stuff is awesome. Awesome. Awesome. It does not work for highway vehicles, i.e. Cars and truck trucks. But anything else it’s great. Dollies, air compressors, wheelbarrows, the stuff is awesome dude.

slime is and has always been amazing for bike tires and other small pneumatic tires
Style: 1 gal
this is a great value, I have been using slime in my tubes of my bikes and a small inflatable pneumatic tires for probably 30 years, and I can say slime has only improved, and it works fantastic, this is a very good way to save money, and it works great on goat heads and several other ways your tires can get punctured, I still always recommend carrying a small air compressor or pump, but for the price point you just cannot beat slime, every bike shop should always carry this.

What was left in the bottle worked great. However, the cap was off of the jug when I opened the package. Ididn't have enough for the other tires.

Great Spark plugs!
Work Great In My 18.5hp Kohler Engine. The engine is on a Craftsman riding mower, and it drives and runs great.

Spark-tacular Revival for My Lawn Chariot
Ordered this OEM 2-pack of Champion spark plugs (Kohler 25 132 23-S / 2513223S) for my Kohler Command K OHV 7000 series (KT725) engine, and let me tell you—these little lightning bolts mean business. Installation? Easier than pretending I’ll read the whole owner’s manual. Pulled the old plugs, threaded these pre-gapped beauties in, torqued appropriately, reconnected, and boom—instant ignition enthusiasm. The engine fired up like it had just downed a double espresso. It’s still too early in the season to mow, but I couldn’t resist a test run. Converted the tractor mower into a full-blown leaf-blasting machine and sent it down my 1/10-mile driveway like a suburban hurricane. Leaves scattered. Neighbors stared. Power was smooth, responsive, and downright smug. Idle is steady. Throttle response is crisp. No sputter, no hesitation—just clean, confident combustion. Exactly what you want from OEM-spec plugs. If your tractor’s been sounding like it’s negotiating with itself before starting, do it a favor. These plugs brought mine back to “runs like a champ”… which, given the name, feels poetically correct. Five stars. Lawn domination pending.
