Washington Franklin Jefferson Hamilton Adams and Madison-together they are best known as an intimate cadre of daring brilliant men credited with our nation's founding. But does this group tell the whole story In his widely praised new history of the roots of American patriotism celebrated author Ray Raphael expands the historical canvas to reveal an entire generation of patriots who pushed for independence fought a war and set the United States on its course-giving us "an evangelizing introduction to the American Revolution" Booklist. Called "entertaining yet informative" by Library Journal Founders brings to life seven historical figures whose stories anchor a sweeping yet intimate history of the Founding Era from the beginnings of unrest in 1761 through the passage of the Bill of Rights thirty years later. Here we follow the intertwined lives of George Washington and a private soldier in his army. America's richest merchant who rescued the nation from bankruptcy goes head to head with a peripatetic revolutionary who incited rebellion in seven states. Rounding out the company is a richly nuanced cast that includes a common village blacksmith a conservative slave owner with an abolitionist son and Mercy Otis Warren the most politically engaged woman of the time. - from the dj flap.

"Nowhere is Lafferty's devout Catholicism more evident than in this strange mélange of a novel which incorporates elements of fantasy and science fiction while being indefinable as either. The book's madcap characters and bizarre settings are typical Lafferty as is the uncertainty about whether the wild plot essentially a secret history of the world amounts to a complete allegory or simply a crazy game -- or perhaps both.

232747London Paris and New York: Raphael Tuck & Sons Ltd. Publishers to Her Majesty The Queen Undated. Hardcover. Unpaginated six of the Tuck plates plus perhaps double that number of pages of pithy observations by literary celebs on comradely excellence. Hardbound in a small decorative format popular in the late 19thC: 6x4 inch boards with wide backstrip of ornate filligree gilt on white cloth each cover finished off with narrow papered fore-edges; rather worn with an obvious repair at the head most of the plates are loose with one slightly damaged. The versos of three plates are pencil-scribbled by a child recto images unaffected. FYI very difficult to bind cardstock leaves successfully not surprising these worked free. Plates are on alkaline coated stock text on slightly acidic matte card. We cannot guarantee that all plates are present but the binding shows no telltale gaps. As is. The illustrations themselves are cliche'd flowerbeds and rural vistas the usual super-pleasant imagery destined for throwaway presentations. The author's phoney-sounding moniker is actual and googles. So should "Tuck" whose firm was one of the finest color-litho presses in England rivalling their obsessively detailed German counterparts. If you like violets and pansies you will like the item. Raphael Tuck & Sons, Ltd., Publishers to Her Majesty The Queen hardcover books
