Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

British-born Thomas Paine came to Philadelphia in 1774. Inspired by the colonists' cries for liberty, Paine captured his own political philosophy and ideals for freedom in a revolutionary pamphlet called Common Sense. Primary source material and easily accessible text tell the story of how Paine helped set the stage for the writing of the Declaration of Independence and how he profoundly influenced the course of our nation's history and ideology.

The power of the pen -- To speak the truth to power -- Early life in England -- The education of Thomas Paine -- Life in London and life at sea -- Marriage and writing -- Going to America -- Writing Common Sense -- Thomas Paine's influence.
