The signature of John Hancock on the Declaration of Independence is the most
flamboyant and easily recognizable of all. It is perhaps no surprise that the
story of his part in the revolution is equally engaging. Few figures were more
well known or more popular than John Hancock.
He played an instrumental role, sometimes by accident, and other times by
design, in coaxing the American Revolution into being.
Born in Braintree, Massachusetts in 1737, he was orphaned as a child, and
adopted by a wealthy merchant uncle who was childless. Hancock attended Harvard
College for a business education and graduated at the age of 17. He apprenticed
to his uncle as a clerk and proved so honest and capable that, in 1760, he was
sent on a business mission to England.
There he witnessed the coronation of George III and engaged some of the leading
businessmen of London. In 1763, his uncle died and John Hancock inherited what
was said to be the greatest body of wealth in New England.
Be remembered for both your signature and your style. This Founding
Fathers costume includes colonial styled black frock coat, matching vest,
knickers and lace jabot and cuff set.
