5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent source for early American History, April 4 2010

By Reader - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: The Selected Papers of John Jay, Volume 1: 1760-1779 (Hardcover)

This volume is an extraordinary collection of early American history told through the letters of John Jay, founding father, diplomat, revolutionary, abolitionist, first Chief Justice, and governor of N.Y., 1795-1801. Readers will learn firsthand the precarious situation of the revolutionary forces against the British, the struggle for independence, and more,through Jay's correspondence with George Washington and his generals, Thomas Jefferson, and others. Most intriguing are the sundry interesting tidbits so characteristic of Jay's letters, such as how to graft trees and select heifers, to a description of the weather and the roads or a house he had visited, detailing both the conditions of the house and its inhabitants. A look at Jay's affectionate letters to his wife, Sarah Livingston, and their children provides a glimpse into his personal tragedies and joys. These letters shed light on a great American patriot and his contributions to our country.
