Revolutionary Characters: What Made the Founders Different

Revolutionary Characters: What Made the Founders Different

Gordon S. Wood
0/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
In this brilliantly illuminating group portrait of the men who came to be known as the Founding Fathers, the incomparable Gordon Wood has written a book that seriously asks, what made these men great? and shows us, among many other things, just how much character did in fact matter. The life of each; Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Franklin, Hamilton, Madison, Paine is presented individually as well as collectively, but the thread that binds these portraits together is the idea of character as a lived reality. They were members of the first generation in history that was self-consciously self-made men who understood that the arc of lives, as of nations, is one of moral progress.
