three newspapers, the boston evening post, the boston gazette, and the massachusetts gazette served as mouthpieces for the movement giving coherent and sustained attention to radical concerns. the web of local associations meant bostonians were well-equipped to organize credit actions when it suited their purposes. it was precisely because he feared these credit actions and because he was painful -- crowd actions and because he's painfully aware of his own impotence in the face of them that massachusetts governor francis bernard began agitating for troops in boston in 1768. officials in london heard what he had to say a circular letter written by the massachusetts bay assembly, and an especially provocative town meeting amped up official concern. by the time general gage was making arrangements for regiments of foot and artillery companies to land in boston, h thought it was very probable would be met by armed force and he organized as a military operation. as an aside, one of the things that surprised me was to discover how many different kinds -- times gage and other leading figures

this was the context in which the boston caucus came to the forefront in boston politics envisioning itself as the vessel for local interests thought to manage the business of town meetings. the crisis of the 1760s and 1770s brought a generational transition in caucus leadership . led by samuel adams junior and james otis junior among others, the caucus used the town meeting as a mouthpiece for expressing collective grievances. with a distinctive voice, sometimes plaintive, often outrage, always standing on principle which gave shape and focus to the towns collective rhetorical identity. its efforts were paralleled by other organizations that were created to shape opinion and when necessary, mobilize action. the merchant club which evolved into the boston society for encouraging trade and commerce, the royal nine which you all know as the sons of liberty and the union club drawn from gangs from the north and south and which made itself periodically available to the royal nine to provide muscle for crowd action. boston had achieved a greater degree of concorde and cooperation between

but it did go to boston. so accidental elements in all this story about the tea party. not really accidental because it across from the same fundamental problem that the british had got an empire, a empire based on these speculative flows of commodities they hadn't really planned and aren't really organized and which was run in kind of a hand to mouth sort of way. it was run in a spontaneous way in response to events as they actually occurred. so eventually would lead to the night when it blew up in their faces. one final point before coy to read the section about the book that deals with what occurred in london when the news arrived and that has to do with the question of treason. this is a rather strange thing. if you read american histories of this period you hear them expressing a sense of amazement about the fact the british thought the tea party was treason. it seems rather baffling. as i say, as i said earlier it was a riot, certainly. it was criminal damage. it wasn't theft because they didn't steal t

the boston tea party is the center of the book. ofill try to summarize some the points involved. 1772ritish empire in really consisted of two empires that were superimposed on each other. there was a political empire, which consisted of flags on a map. buildings,vernors, coats and arms, soldiers. that was the political empire. the west indies as well as the continental american colonies. there was also a commercial empire. this empire was more important. the debateso read of the british parliament and the 1770's, which are fascinating and frederick , they referred again and again to the commercial interests of great britain. these were the permanent and important interests. keeping the world free for british exporters and importers. tradesmen from the city of london. ans commercial empire was empire of speculation. primarily based on great big flows back and forth of commodities. sugar from the west indies. that was the brightest jewel in the crown of the british empire. christ's and indigo from south carolina. tobacco from the che

the plaza hotel in boston, everyone in la knows the story. he smelled smoke around midnight under his hotel, went to the door, opened it, was blasted by fire, went to the window and eventually found one that opened, counted to 10 over and over again and burned him horribly. able thing to start the autobiography with this story. he is alone in the hotel room. people knew before this book that he wasn't alone in that hotel room but one of the weird things i discovered was how completely obvious it was that he wasn't alone. he had a mistress named elsa weiner who was a writer. they had been together for a long time and she was with him in the room that night. she got out the window first, and down the ladder after her. and their names were in the boston globe the next day, there is news footage crawling down the ladder, amazing the redstone's kept this quiet and there was one story published in boston magazine that gave her a different name, and told versions of the story, that was like disappeared from the archives forever because somebody didn
