Overall a very interesting snapshot of 1750-1800 in America, though it's a bit long-winded in spots. One of the best parts is how Ferling will weave the names everyone knows in and out of his presentation of the story with little to no warning. You'll be reading about some low ranking politician in Boston and he'll say something like, "(Mr. low-ranking politician) frequently attended dinners at the home of a well-known silversmith named PAUL REVERE..." This approach may not work for everyone, but I enjoyed it. Ultimately, the book probably reaches a little too far with its scope, which is to be expected when you 're covering 50+ years of formative American history. It's worth a look if you want a detailed overview.
