Blueprint for a Revolution: The Spies at Carpenters' Hall
Carpenters' Hall, Chestnut below Fourth, Philadelphia
The only thing new in the world is the history you don't know.
–Harry S Truman
Whenever America has needed heroes, someone has always been there.
Francis Daymon is not your average history book hero. He was an everyday American who did what he could, never realizing his actions and talents would mean the difference between victory or defeat for the American Revolution.
Blueprint for a Revolution is based on a true story that has recently been rediscovered because of a hand written account by Achard de Bonvouloir. His papers were found in Paris after almost two centuries, describing this most important, but secret, event in American history. The story tells how Francis Daymon helped both Benjamin Franklin and the French spy, Bonvouloir, secretly meet to discuss the colonies' upcoming revolution against England.
This book was written for children and adults alike to celebrate another example of America's greatest strength-its people.
We could not have won the revolution without France, and this is how France first got into it!
–Charles E. Peterson, FAIA
Historian Emeritus, The Carpenters' Company
