The best of Phelps!

By far, this is the best book I've read by Phelps. Rich in detail regarding Nathan's life with his family, education, friendships, work, and play. Also one can almost feel the passion and patriotism of the times. Especially as Washington was gathering an army to stand and fight against the British. I relished every page.
