Concise and InformativeBy KG74I have been studying the Founding Fathers and the period of the Revolutionary War for several years and I have often wanted a concise research tool to turn to for a quick refresher of any number of the extraordinary men (and women) that founded our country. In addition to the members that make up the early American political sphere; there are notes on the Louisiana Purchase; The Declaration of Independence; the Treaty of Paris; and other notable events and articles of political importance. This text is very well written and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in this subject.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
