Colonial Times
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I love anything and everything written by James Haskins. He was a dear friend and I know how much research goes into his Biographies that what is written is real and personal. I feel like when I read a biography written by him that I am right there in the moment with that person.
