John Hancock Document Letter Handwritten Signed Boston Americana Bunch Of Grapes Tavern

Item Details

Description

Title:John Hancock Document Letter Handwritten Signed Boston Americana Bunch Of Grapes Tavern

Description: This document was signed and we believe also written by John Hancock, to a Mr. John Chandler. The document states that they will be meeting at the famous Bunch of Grapes Tavern in Boston Massachusetts on Wednesday January 13 in order to choose a moderator, vote on roads being laid, and what to do with common and undivided land. In 1772 John Hancock was prevalent in Boston, as he was the moderator from 1770 to 1772. In the revolutionary era, the Bunch of Grapes became the resort of the High Whigs, who made it a sort of political headquarters, in which patriotism only passed current, and it was known as the Whig tavern. Paul Revere and others gathered here.
