Julie Flavell's When London Was Capital of America tells the story of the years before the Revolutionary War when American colonists traveled to London, their capital city. Through the stories of Carolinian Henry Laurens and his family; his slave, Scipio; Stephen Sayre, a New England merchant and Benjamin Franklin, we learn about London in the 1760's.
