The Way of Duty: A Woman and Her Family in Revolutionary America
“Vivid, splendid reading—reading for pleasure, for profit, for a sure grasp of the past that made the present possible. ” (William Manchester)“An admirable book about an admirable person. . . . Thoroughly engrossing.” (Jonathan Yardley - Washington Post Book World)“Engrossing family history, very well told.” (Kirkus Reviews)“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)
