Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson

by: Henry Childs Merwin

     This was a very informative book. Lots of information that's not in our history books. The one thing I found most interesting was that the Constitution on The United States had been modified by the early congress before being excepted. I had a hard time with this book because the Author would change time lines. One moment your reading about Thomas Jefferson in 1800 then it goes back to 1790. I would recommend this to any one who would like to find out more information about our founding fathers.
     One thing that surprised me was that Mr. Jefferson sent troops to help out George Washington against the British. Also that Mr. Jefferson did not want to separate from the Crown. As he grew in age, he no longer wanted to leave his beloved home that he had built.
     In the book it only mentioned this once, however Thomas Jefferson had promised "When I first entered on stage of public life I came to a resolution never to engage, while in public office, in any kind of enterprise for the improvement of my fortune, nor to wear any other character than that of a farmer. I have never departed from it in a single instance;"
     In multiple bills Thomas Jefferson tried to abolish slavery, Timing was not right for the people of early America to accept this.
     After reading this I would like to see the home that Thomas Jefferson built in Monticello for myself. It is still there today owned by his descendants.

Night Of Wolves

NIGHT OF WOLVES

BY David Dalglish

 “The humans are weak. Their skin is soft, and their minds dull from years of safety. We are the vicious. We are the destroyers. Come the full moon, when our goddess watches our victory, we will taste of their blood!”

Wolf-men, savage creatures given humanoid form in an ancient war, mass along the Gihon River. Led by their packleader Redclaw, they seek to cross the river and claim a land of their own, slaughtering those that would stand in their way. Two paladins, Jerico of the god Ashhur, and Darius of the god Karak, must helm the desperate defense against the invasion.

Their friendship will be tested as their gods resume an unending war, and their very faiths call for the death of the other. Together, friend or foe, they must face Redclaw’s horde.

Can faith remain when the gods call for blood?

     First of I got this book thinking of Werewolves. It's nothing of the sort, even with that I found it a interesting world that Mr. Dalglish has created here for me to fall into. I thought that it was not what I was looking for at first then really got into the characters of his story. The book was well rounded and I would read it again say the time comes. I can't wait to read the other books from his world. Check out his books at http://ddalglish.com/wp/
