5.0 out of 5 stars Absorbing 30 Aug 2010
By Margaret Lake
Format:Kindle Edition
I finished this book a few weeks ago, but did not review it right away. I wanted to give the review as much thought as Mr. Hepple obviously did in writing it. Hopefully, I'll do it justice. At least I'll try.

This book made me feel like I was there. The story became very personal through the characters of John Van Buskirk and his wife, Anna Livingston. Their thoughts, their feelings, what they did for their country, were all very believable to me. When I think about the courage and sacrifice of these two young people, I am deeply touched.

Added to the personal story, is the story of the founding of our country. Yes, in high school, I had to read the "Declaration of Independence" and "Common Sense." I certainly didn't undersand the reality of those documents at the time. Reading them in this book as an adult against the backdrop of the people who fought and died, brought tears to my eyes.

I also enjoyed all the correspondence Mr. Hepple included. It was real and made the people who wrote those letters real, too.

I was sad when the book came to an end. I wanted it to continue. Thankfully, it has in the next installment, "Land of the Free."

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent writing that's well worth your reading time. 24 Dec 2008
By LDB415 - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is a very well written treatise on the nation during the time of the Revolutionary War. The author knows the history and imparts it in a very well written piece that keeps you moving along looking forward to the next page. His writing shows intelligence but not dryness or aloofness. This is definitely a worthwhile read. Recommended with 5 stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good historical fiction 14 Dec 2008
By TS - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
This book is a look a the Revolutionary War through the eyes of people who lived it. It is very well written and makes you want to keep reading to find out what is going to happen next. It is full of historical facts, but is so much more than a chronology of the War. A great read for anyone who enjoys American history.
