About this title

Review:

Engrossing family history, very well told. An admirable book about an admirable person. . . . Thoroughly engrossing.--Jonathan Yardley 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 Vivid, splendid reading--reading for pleasure, for profit, for a sure grasp of the past that made the present possible.--William Manchester
