Not surprisingly there is little source material for Mary Ball Washington, hence the majority of this book does not directly concern her.

I thought the book was rather slow and aspects were obviously inserted in great detail to fill out the narrative. Perhaps the best example would be the section devoted to genealogies which went into a dizzying array of minutia.

Perhaps this book would have more appeal to those with no real background in the American Revolution. However, for those that are well versed, there is no new information to add other than that specific to Mary Ball- which could have been discussed in a few chapters.… (altro)

This was a really good, but different kind of book. The author goes from one thing to another, whether its grabbing headlines, or completely changing the subject. Either way, it just flows a lot easier than you would think. I'm sure there is a better word for it, but I haven't really read anything like this before. Enjoyed it tremendously.

2022 book #72. 2022. Culled mainly from newspapers of the time a day-to-day look at America from Jan-April 1945. An interesting look into what life may have been like for my parents who would have been about 19. War news, but also pop culture, crime, even advertisement text.
