Lovely little book

As a living history actor I enjoy having as much little pieces of information to go with the larger picture of my character and the time. This is a lovely book for that cause and it came in fine condition and good time.

The Quotable Founding Fathers

Met my needs as a writer and speaker. What better source to use to make your point.

Welcome addition to American History Reference material

Of course, it would be silly for me to write a review of the quotes themselves in this book, but the sheer volume of material warrants this book 5 stars. Moreover, the quotes are sub-indexed by category (education, greed...etc.) which allows for easier access to speech writing and quoting. A welcome addition to my collection of early American History references.
