This was the second book that I read, once my interest in American History was awakened.  It was reccommended to me by my good friend and Revolutionary War buff Jerry Hurwitz.  After that, there was no stopping me.  It’s a great read to acquaint you with those icons of history who gave us our country.

This was the second book which I read, once my interest in American History was awoken.  It was reccommended to me by my good friend and American History buff, Jerry Hurwitz, who was my guest on July 5, 2009.  This book is a wonderful introduction to the men and the times of our founding.

This was the book which got me hooked on studying the American Revolution.  I was watching Book Notes one evening and heard an interview with Joseph H. Ellis discussing this recently publishing biography of the retirement years of our second president.  I read the book.  What followed was a 14 year fascination with our early history and the men and women who gave us America.
