Miss Wharton so enlivens the past that she makes the distinguished
characters of whom she treats live and talk with us. She has recently
visited the homelands of a number of our great American leaders and we
seem to see upon their native heath the English ancestors of George
Washington, Benjamin Franklin, William Penn, the Pilgrim Fathers and
Mothers, the Maryland and Virginia Cavaliers and others who have done
their part in the making of the United States. Although this book is
written in an entertaining manner, and with many anecdotes and by-paths
to charm the reader, it is a distinct addition to the literature of
American history and will make a superb gift for the man or woman who
takes pride in his or her library.
