's review

it was ok
bookshelves: overrated-garbage

3000 men marched this way. They crossed a river; good thing (maybe God) that it was foggy that morning. Some muskets were fired. Some two-digit-number of guys died. It was muddy. George Washington is awesome if not as heroically decisive as normally portrayed. Go 'Merika.

I just made a quick read even quicker.

Rusten looking forward to your review of john adams... I have to say I read the book and was pretty blown away less by the content and more by his integration of primary sources and research into a 'novel-like' reading experience.
