Media Reviews
The writing is uniformly excellent and the subjects well chosen—and only half the biographies are about white males. This collection should appeal to a wide audience. I will certainly use it in my American Revolution course. -- Neil R. Stout, University of Vermont
It would take an American Hogarth to paint such a group of intriguing men and women from different classes, religions, races, and regions. But all of us can now explore and compare these diverse and well-documented lives, relating them to the more familiar faces and places of the Revolutionary era. -- Peter H. Wood, author of Black Majority: Negroes in Colonial South Carolina from 1670 Through the Stono Rebellion
In this wonderful collection of concise and imaginative essays, the editors convey the immense diversity of the American Revolution in a way that no conventional narrative ever could. Reading these essays is a real pleasure. -- John M. Murrin, Princeton University
A fascinating potpourri of lives of Revolutionary era Americans, each different, each illuminating, all presenting a complex portrait of the lived experiences of late eighteenth-century Americans. -- Jack N. Rakove, professor of history, Stanford University
