He Had Kept His Head, Kept His Health And His Strength, Bearing Up Under A Weight Of Work And Worry That Only A Few Could Have Carried.

My Next Book Is Also Set In The Eighteenth Century. It's About The Revolution, With The Focus On The Year 1776. It's About Washington And The Army And The War. It's The Nadir, The Low Point Of The United States Of America.

Unlike The People You See In Mathew Brady's Photographs From The Civil War, The Men And Women Of The Revolution Seem More Like Characters In A Costume Pageant. And It's A Pageant In Which The Performers Are All Handsome As Stage Actors, With Uniforms And Dress That Are Always Costume Perfect.
