Book Description
Daniel Shays (1747-1825) was born in Hopkinton, Massachusetts to Patrick and Margaret Dempsey Shea. Patrick fought in the French and Indian War and, later, in the American Revolution. In the latter war he was joined by two of his sons, Daniel and James. All three fought at the Battle of Bunker Hill. Daniel obtained the rank of Captain and fought in the battles of Ticonderoga and Saratoga. In 1772 Shays married Abigail Gilbert and they eventually were the parents of eight children. Shays suffered from indebtidness which caused much suffering for himself and his family. In 1787 he led the ill-fated Shays Rebellion to protest unjust laws and penalties. After the disastrous rebellion, Shays moved to Vermont with his family and, later, to New York where he died in 1825 after having suffered greatly from wounds which he had received in the American Revolution.

Book Description
The ruins of Daniel Shays's fortified settlement reveal the hidden story of the famous rebellion. Shays and the Regulators founded the settlement deep in the Vermont wilderness after fleeing the uprising they led in 1787 in Massachusetts. Rediscovered in 1997 and under study since 2013, these remnants divulge secrets of Shays's life that previously remained unknown, including his connection to Millard Filmore and the Anti-Federalist lawyer John Bay. As the leader of the site's first formal study, Stephen D. Butz weaves together the tale of the archaeological investigation, along with Shays's heroic life in the Continental army, his role in the infamous rebellion that bears his name and his influence on American law.
