Originally written as a series of letters to his family from Europe, recollections is a rich firsthand account of Boston in the time of revolution and beyond. Breck, who was raised in the city and was related to the Adamses and other prominent families, bore witness to many historical events including the Boston Tea Party. When the author left his home to finish his education in France, he encountered and recounts conversations with major figures of the enlightenment like Beaumarchais and John Adams. From his youth in the cradle of the American Revolution, to his years abroad studying under the shadow of the French Revolution, Breck reflects on his experiences through the lens of America's founding principles and emerging cultural and political identity.
