He was born in Braintree, Massachusetts December 7th, 1744. At the tender age of 12, he had an early military experience when he substituted for his father in the French and Indian War when Mr. Crane received the draft. Early in the American Revolution, Crane became a member of the Sons of Liberty like so many other men in his time. Before the Boston Tea Party actually occurred, the disguised men met at Crane’s home to discuss the night’s events. Interestingly, John Crane was the only American harmed in the Boston Tea Party. He was in the hold of one ship when he was knocked unconscious by a falling crate of tea. His fellow patriots thought him dead and hid him under a pile of wood shavings in a carpenter’s shop off the harbor, only for Crane to recover later.", "imageURL": "https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhDrw97w3QSkiBMMe3IAqoY9mOJHSi7jLJhy8QnFPiGsU3UhUodH9I-xdCk6YFYtYFcZPgcHkKhFOETlgzBME9QvVIZ1JuhmGlCFeGio9GKZwHURDec0xjS37LzV5SvCHk9UPHj_FZwTCSfkIeb-Nbi7VHU9rLM_YdLYm1L2yjcRIqPVqDbF2kGitiosA/s1600/L7SZ-8PY.jpg" }
