Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Vivid, splendid reading-reading for pleasure, for profit, for a sure grasp of the past that made the present possible. " -- William Manchester "A poignant, even heart-wrenching story. The Buels make clear just how disruptive the Revolution was in the private lives of families. It is a beautifully written, irresistible story that tells a lot about what the Revolution really meant." -- Richard L. Bushman, Columbia University "An admirable book about an admirable person. . . . Thoroughly engrossing." -- Jonathan Yardley - Washington Post Book World "Engrossing family history, very well told." -- Kirkus Reviews

Reseña del editor:

The Buels have used a rich trove of documents to tell the story of a Connecticut woman, Mary Fish Silliman (1736-1818), whose adventures illuminate the day-to-day realities of living through the American Revolution.
