Book Reviews:

"This is a splendid book--humane, learned, written with flair and radiant with a calm intelligence and wit. Even those familiar with ''the Revolutionary generation'' will, I would warrant, find much in its pages to captivate and enlarge their understanding of our nation's fledgling years."

New York Times Book Review - Benson Bobrick (12/10/2000)

"[A] remarkable set of very engaging stories that can be read independently of one another....[A] wonderful book, one of the best collections of essays on the Founders ever written."

New York Review of Books - Gordon S. Wood (03/29/2001)
