13. "The Glorious Cause" by Jeff Shaara

Mon Jun 25, 2018, 10:40 AM

Jun 2018

The second of the American Revolution novels from about the time of the Declaration of Independence to Yorktown. Although mostly historically accurate, this is found in the fiction section of the library. Shaara includes fictional dialogue between the characters to breathe more life into them (Washington, Franklin, Cornwallis, Greene, Lafayette, etc.). An enjoyable read.
