Reviews / Votes
"The Making and Unmaking of a Revolutionary Family is an interesting and carefully crafted study of the family dynamics of the Tuckers in the Revolutionary and post-Revolutionary generations. Phillip Hamilton's questions about how families respond and shape new strategies for maintaining their economic power and social position are vitally important in any consideration of post-Revolutionary Virginia." - Herbert E. Sloan, Barnard College, author of Principle and Interest: Thomas Jefferson and the Problem of DebtMore details
