This is my Fourth-Great Grandfather,
By Thomas (Middlebrook, Virginia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Patriot Above Profit: A Portrait of Thomas Nelson, Jr. Who Supported the American Revolution with His Purse and Sword (Hardcover)
Having met the author some years ago on October 19th, the annual Yorktown Day celebration of Cornwallis's surrender, and with Thomas Nelson, Jr., being my fourth-great grandfather, I am a bit partial to this book. The detail gives a since of being there as Thomas Nelson grows up in the aristocracy surrounding him. The authors ability to pull together daily newspaper items, wills, government documents, family genealogy, and wide source of information into a flowing lifespan of a great patriot. Descendants of the Virginia Page or Nelson family will find this book a great joy as they will learn more than any other book about the Signer of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Nelson, Jr. Enjoy and live the past in this remarkable recovery of our Revolutionary history.
