Review:
In this wonderful collection of concise and imaginative essays, the editors convey the immense diversity of the American Revolution in a way that no conventional narrative ever could. Reading these essays is a real pleasure.--John M. Murrin, Princeton University
A fascinating potpourri of lives of Revolutionary era Americans, each different, each illuminating, all presenting a complex portrait of the lived experiences of late eighteenth-century Americans.--Jack N. Rakove, professor of history, Stanford University
It would take an American Hogarth to paint such a group of intriguing men and women from different classes, religions, races, and regions. But all of us can now explore and compare these diverse and well-documented lives, relating them to the more familiar faces and places of the Revolutionary era.--Peter H. Wood, author of Black Majority: Negroes in Colonial South Carolina from 1670 Through the Stono Rebellion
The writing is uniformly excellent and the subjects well chosen--and only half the biographies are about white males. This collection should appeal to a wide audience. I will certainly use it in my American Revolution course.--Neil R. Stout, University of Vermont
