Bernadine Fawcett has created an homage to our nation's history by preserving letters from her husband's family that bring the Revolutionary War from the distant history books to a living piece of our past.

Mrs. Fawcett has painstakingly printed both the typed 'translation' and photocopy of many letters from Rev. Andrew Eliot in Connecticut to his father in Boston during the time of our nation's struggle for Independence. She carefully charts out the relationships of her husband's family with its ties to the family of Aaron Burr. She has included many copies of invaluable primary sources in the letters, photos and heirlooms. To be able to read the words of participants as the War begins and explodes around them is an unparalleled experience. This is what makes this an important vehicle to preserve our country's history. It was very generous of the author to create this means of sharing her family history with us.

Missing Links To The Culper Spy Ring? by Bernadine Fawcett is a unique contribution to our understanding of the Revolutionary War's inner-workings with respect to the use of espionage by the colonists against their British adversaries. Presenting readers with an in-depth analysis of Rev. Andrew Eliot's (a Connecticut revolutionary war spy) relationship to, and exchange of information between, George Washington, Ben Franklin, John Hancock, and Andrew Jackson, Missing Links To The Culper Spy Ring? leaves no detail out of its history of the lineage shared between Rev. Eliot's wife and Vice President Aaron Burr, and how letters between them led Bernadine Fawcett discover intimate accounts of a "Patriot Spy Ring" A seminal and quite original contribution to American Revolutionary War History, Missing Links To The Culper Spy Ring? is very highly recommended for personal, academic, and community library collections.

Sorry to say, I did not receive the book and no one will take responsibility.
The post office says they delivered it.
The carrier was new, first day, and did not know the community here but if he delivered it somewhere else they would have passed it on to me because we are not that large.
Obviously, that did not happen. even if it got as far as the post office and they have confirmation.
All the post office says is that they will be on the look out for it...
As far as I am concerned, if the supplier cannot make good on sending another book, they should not be in business and Amazon should get more involved in see that good customers get what they pay for, especially seniors!
In mine mind, the supplier is not reliable and you aren't either.
I will not be using AMAZON for anything from here on and make sure to tell everyone I know my bad experience with you.

p.s. Without a signed receipt it is just 'I say, they say' and no one is out but ME.
