Oh, and our ally, france....yeah, she helped us vs britain, but didn't exactly want us to win. It was in their best interests to keep it going as long as possible, as a way to weaken britain, thus strengthening france.

I'll have to get a copy of that book. I had pretty much already guessed that you were reading one.

Read it a few months ago...which lead me to reading brands on texas, which lead to sam houston... and reading jackson also made me want a book on quincy adams, and clay. Read on clay last month (and polk)
I like brands writing style, lots of info but not dry or boring. I think ill read grant next. His memoirs were good, but i enjoyed shermans more.

When i got the JQA book out, i said 'that author sounds familiar'. I have his book on james monroe
