Review
“Vivid, splendid reading—reading for pleasure, for profit, for a sure grasp of the past that made the present possible. ” (William Manchester )
“An admirable book about an admirable person. . . . Thoroughly engrossing.” (Jonathan Yardley - Washington Post Book World )
“Engrossing family history, very well told.” (Kirkus Reviews )
“A poignant, even heart-wrenching story. The Buels make clear just how disruptive the Revolution was in the private lives of families. It is a beautifully written, irresistible story that tells a lot about what the Revolution really meant.” (Richard L. Bushman, Columbia University )
