Washington Franklin Jefferson Hamilton Adams and Madison-together they are best known as an intimate cadre of daring brilliant men credited with our nation's founding. But does this group tell the whole story In his widely praised new history of the roots of American patriotism celebrated author Ray Raphael expands the historical canvas to reveal an entire generation of patriots who pushed for independence fought a war and set the United States on its course-giving us "an evangelizing introduction to the American Revolution" Booklist. Called "entertaining yet informative" by Library Journal Founders brings to life seven historical figures whose stories anchor a sweeping yet intimate history of the Founding Era from the beginnings of unrest in 1761 through the passage of the Bill of Rights thirty years later. Here we follow the intertwined lives of George Washington and a private soldier in his army.

Eureka CA: : Humboldt County Historical Society 1993. Fine in illustrated wrappers. First printing a trade paperback original. A book about the early contact between two cultures in California based on journals and other documentary evidence. "A finely-crafted well researched fascinating story about an important but little-known man in our North Coast history. . Little White Father is an account of Redick McKee one of three commissioners appointed to the office of Indian Affairs by President Millard Fillmore in 1850 to negotiate treaties with the indigenous people of the California frontier. McKee was unique in his day well-meaning in his mission but ignorant and nave about the people he was supposed to 'save' as well as about his fellow countrymen and the government he represented. Raphael's work is objective and courageous in presenting a realistic portrait of Redick McKee. The book presents an accurate view of the events of the Western frontier of the United States from 1850 to 1860 and it raises questions for us to ponder today. It is good reading but it is not comfortable reading." Humboldt Historian Illustrated with maps and reproductions of contemporary drawings notes at the end of each chapter. 213 pp. Humboldt County Historical Society, unknown
