Book Chat on Minds and Hearts with the Mercy Otis Warren Society

He was a mercurial lawyer who rallied Patriots in the American Revolution with the cry of "no taxation with representation." She was a writer who swayed politics from behind the scenes, and penned the first history of the war. Together, this brother and sister pair of James Otis and Mercy Otis Warren were some of the most influential but oft forgotten figures of early America. Jeffrey Hacker's dual biography Minds and Hearts showcases their intertwined lives, as Mercy's star continued to rise through the Federal period as her brother's mental illness caused him to fade from public life.
