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.Titles include: ' George Washington: 'The Man of the Age' 978-1-893311-99-2 (117 pages, 5 x 9) ' Thomas Jefferson: Philosopher and Politician 978-1-893311-59-6 (94 pages, 5 x 9) ' James Madison: Champion of Liberty and Justice 978-1-893311-65-7 (110 pages, 5 x 9) ' Lafayette: The Boy General 978-1-893311-84-8 (116 pages, 5 x 9) ' Abigail Adams: An American Heroine 978-1-893311-93-0 (134 pages, 5 x 9)
