Rating: 4 out of 5

Initially the writing style (1850s) was an adjustment but I quickly got used to it and was able to read with ease.  I enjoyed this book more than I expected.  I seldom go to movies but often read the books upon which they are based.  This book was fascinating and grab s and holds the attention.  I found it quite thought provoking in terms of how the things that happened 175 years ago continue to influence people and our culture and our nation today.  I found the commentary and research part at the back of the book to be rather boring and not at all succinct.  My attention lagged there.
