The American Revolution would not have started how and when it did if not for the heroic efforts and decisive actions of one man: Dr. Joseph Warren. Although America’s founders are generally well known, and everyone knows of the “midnight ride” of Paul Revere, few know the pivotal role that Joseph Warren played in the decade leading up to the decisive day of April 19, 1775—which included the decision to send Revere on his famous ride. Warren was an architect of the rebellion and involved in every major insurrectionary act and event in Boston in his day. His prolific writing included the Suffolk Resolves, which united the colonies and inspired the Declaration of Independence. From the fall of 1774 to the spring of 1775, Warren almost single-handedly directed the patriot’s efforts in Boston while other leaders such as Samuel Adams and John Hancock were away at the Continental Congress in Philadelphia (or in hiding). In 2025, as we mark the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill, Dr. Joseph Warren: First Hero of the American Revolution honors the fearless physician and strategist who ignited the fight for liberty. Perfect for history buffs, liberty enthusiasts, and readers seeking inspiring tales of valor, Dr. Joseph Warren kicks off the Heroes of History series with a gripping portrait of a forgotten founder that some say could have been America's first President had he survived Bunker Hill. Join the revolution. Uncover the legacy of a hero who dared to defy an empire.
