I enjoy the book; I think due to beging able to listen to the Cynthia K's voice and see her personality brings the book a to life. The person whom left the comment before states that most history required text are boring. I am not a History major thus the amount of actual history books I have been required to read are limited; however I have rareky found them dull. I think you need a very active imagination to fully enjoy a history book. I believe that is why a lot of actor's fav subject is academics is History. Anyhow; the book is good. I just had to repurchase it because I lost mine.Over all a good text book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Revolutionary AmericaBy Mary Collins LandinIntresting reading; because it started at the time the Revolution actually began (about 1750); and went through the War of 1812's final battle. Many historic details not often found in books. Came in good condition; on time.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. very good reference bookBy ThamanjimmyThis is a great book for anyone who enjoys the Revolutionary period. The author provides a brief history of the era and then provides literature; written during that time; to show how people thought.Buy it.
