The elegant prose of America's Revolutionary generation is found in this series of chapbook
biographies by US Constitution historian John P. Kaminski, who adds dimension to the
historic dramas of revolution and nation-making. Unlike traditional biographies, these
chapbooks emphasize the character, mannerisms, and physical appearance of the subjects
as they were known to their contemporaries. In a unique way, the illuminating vignettes
and "behind-the-curtain" glimpses of both well-known and obscure events provide a new
perspective on the Founding generation.
