GoodrichDiscover the men behind the signatures—patriots, preachers, lawyers, and farmers—who risked everything for liberty.Who were the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence?

Goodrich answers these questions and more by presenting rich, compelling biographies of the signers of the Declaration—those we now honor as the Founding Fathers.
