Through the Founders own voices and in the homes they designed and
built to embody the ideal of domestic happiness they fought to
achieve we come to understand why the American Revolution, of all
great revolutions, was the only enduring success.
The Founders were vivid, energetic men, with sophisticated
worldviews, and this magnificent reckoning of their successes draws
liberally from their own eloquent writings on their actions and
well-considered intentions. Richly illustrated with America s
historical and architectural treasures, this volume also considers
the houses the Founders built with such care and money to reflect
their vision for the fledgling nation. That so many great thinkers
Washington, Madison, Hamilton, Jefferson, John Jay, the Lees of
Stratford Hall, and polemicist William Livingston came together to
accomplish what rightly seemed to them almost a miracle is a
standing historical mystery, best understood by pondering the men
themselves and their profound and world-changing ideas.
Through impressive research and an intimate understanding of
these iconic patriots, award-winning author Myron Magnet offers
fresh insight into why the American experiment resulted in over two
centuries of unexampled freedom and prosperity."
