Where can I find primary online sources about the Boston Tea Party in 1773? Who participated in it and wrote about it during 1773?

Tip for best answer: M$0.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

The Library of Congress is a great primary source for this information. There are the original headlines from the Boston Gazette December 20th, 1773 and the Massachusetts Spy December 23rd, 1773 at result numbers 57 through 60 these can even be purchased for use at home through the Library of Congress website

About 200 men participated in the Boston Tea Party, George Hewes and Leonard Pitt were two of them and George wrote a firsthand account of the events of that night.
