With poetic prose worthy of the Colonial age, this book carries the history along with a robust story line. If you have young (tweens - 90s) interested in the Revolutionary sentiments and morality which brought those ancestors to the quandary of freedom fought for by way of treason, get it and keep it to read again. I am on third read and wonder if others can provide a concise list of this authors other books. Seems the list her does not distinquish between others of the same name.
