2.Benjamin Franklin: An American LifeBenjamin Franklin: An American Life
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $12.24

Customer Review:
It is enlightening how the spectrum at which Benjamin Franklin's contributions to America can hardly be contained in one book. A glimpse into his common sense, wisdom, and morality are organized with precision and passion through Walter Isaacson's masterpiece. I now better understand Franklin's... more info

from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:
I can't actually review the book itself, since it was a gift, and I haven't read it. I ordered it specifically for my dad who is having difficulty reading while awaiting cataract surgery. The book did arrive quickly and safely.

4.His Excellency: George WashingtonHis Excellency: George Washington
from Vintage
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
It is sad. The author has made big bucks on a book that essentially is aimed at bringing George Washington down to the level of today's politicians. There certainly is an audience for this kind of interpretation of our Founding Father and it can only be accomplished by someone who has a perspective... more info

6.Almost a Miracle: The American Victory in the War of IndependenceAlmost a Miracle: The American Victory in the War of Independence
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $19.77

Customer Review:
I greatly enjoyed "Almost a Miracle", which reviewed the Revolutionary war from the point of view of the military. It is intended by the author as a companion volume to "A Leap in the Dark" (2003) which covers the political side of the war. (Full disclosure: I have not read the earlier book.)more info

7.Desperate Passage: The Donner Party s Perilous Journey WestDesperate Passage: The Donner Party's Perilous Journey West
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $18.48

Customer Review:
Rarick writes a very nice narrative of the Donner Party that includes references of the Hardesty and Dixon excavations of recent years. I liked the book and his generally neutral positions with a couple of exceptions. He is a bit too harsh on Lansford Hastings who is all but vilified as a main cause... more info

from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $23.07

Customer Review:
My daughter was very impressed by Albion's Seed when she read it as part of her undergrad studies in history. Several years after her graduation, I finally got around to reading it. I love scholarly books on history. Before Albion's Seed, I'd read Karen Armstrong's A History of God and Ronald... more info

from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $12.24

Customer Review:
This book gives us the information we never received in middle school. The history of the United States did not begin at Plymouth. It began in 1492 and there was a lot happening in the West Indies, Florida, The Carolinas, The Chesapeake, between then and 1750.
Of special interest was the... more info
