5.0 out of 5 stars
Very informative.,
This review is from: America's Founding Fathers: Who Are They? Thumbnail Sketches of 164 Patriots (Paperback)
If you're a history nut like myself, you might enjoy this one. It's pretty small in comparison to other such books, but it's packed with information about (as the subtitle says) 164 players in early American history. The intro includes four tables, the first listing the the signers of the Declaration of Independence, the second listing the signers of the Articles of Confederation, the third listing the Constitutional Convention delegates, and the fourth offers a cross-reference of the participants and the documents they signed. Chapter 1 offers a brief (13 pages) but very informative outline of early American history. Chapters 2 through 14 list the patriots by state (or "colony"), and the sketches are alphabetically arranged. The headings include the date of birth, date of death, who they married, their education, occupations, and accomplishments. Highly recommended, but warning...this is a very condensed book...there are no pictures!
