Today I finished your wonderful book and I am so very thrilled to let you know it's one of the best books I've read! Each day while I read a chapter or so, I would find myself lost in his life's goings-on and wondering what it must have been like to know such a dedicated patriot and family man and businessman. I wish I could say I've met someone like him, but I haven't, at least not as of now! What a talented and dedicated person he was. Men of those days were full of grit...he was, also. Thank you for making my journey through the book one I will long remember...you truly brought his life to life for me!
