This review is from: George Washington's Mount Vernon: Mt. Vernon and its Associations Historical, Biographical and Pictorial (Hardcover)
This is for the indepth historian. Not light reading. Not something you would want to read straight through. A little more than what I needed but it will be a good read this winter.
