My current read: Founding Brothers

June 5, 2008 · Print This Article

Here’s the book I’m currently reading: Founding Brothers by Joseph J. Ellis.

Ellis won a Pulitzer Prize for this book, and after reading just the intro, prologue and the first “section”, I can see why.

The premise behind the book is to explain one of the most important decades in our nation’s history — beginning in 1790 — through the prism of six events.

It’s a unique approach to historical storytelling, and it is really a fascinating read thus far.

I highly recommend it, and I won’t finish it for another day or two.
