4.0 out of 5 stars American History Enjoyed , August 9, 2007

By	G. Keefe "Go Devils" (New Jersey, United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: This Time, Tempe Wick? (Hardcover)

My daughter enjoyed this piece of local history. We do not live far from Jockey Hollow National Park in Morristown, where the Wick house still stands. The Wick home has been preserved beautifully (even tour guides dressed in period clothes are there) and the stables where Tempe housed her horse are still in great shape. I've taken my daughter here for walks many times (as my father took me when I was young) and when I saw this book I knew my little 9 yrs. old reader would enjoy it. It seems to have a nice flow to it and also seems to follow the real history of Tempe Wick. A 12 yr. old girl standing up to the Army during a time of war is a hollywood story and a good piece of American History.
