出版商概要
'[Paul Jennings's] remarkable life sheds new light on the central themes of American history during his lifetime and beyond. Taylor's sensitive reconstruction of one man and his family's experiences yields fresh perspectives on a wide range of subjects, including but hardly limited to James and Dolley Madison, the Montpelier plantation that was their and Jennings's home, the African-American experience under slavery, the world of free blacks in Washington City during the late antebellum era, and the Civil War and its legacy.Scholars and general readers alike will not be able to put this remarkable book down.' - Drew McCoy, history professor at ClarkUniversity and author of The Lastof the Fathers 'Elizabeth Dowling Taylor has presented us with the gift of a new American hero.With precision and compassion, Taylor deftly brings Paul Jennings out of the shadows of history.
