About The Way Of Duty: A Woman And Her Family In
Product Description Combining the skills of a gifted writer and a scholar's grasp of early America, The Way of Duty draws readers into a vividly evoked world. The Buels have used a rich trove of documents to tell the story of a Connecticut woman, Mary Fish Silliman (1736–1818), whose adventures illuminate the day-to-day realities of living through the American Revolution. Review "Engrossing family history, very well told." ― Kirkus Reviews "An admirable book about an admirable person. . . . Thoroughly engrossing." ― Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post Book World "A poignant, even heart-wrenching story. The Buels make clear just how disruptive the Revolution was in the private lives of families. It is a beautifully written, irresistible story that tells a lot about what the Revolution really meant." ― Richard L. Bushman, Columbia University "Vivid, splendid reading―reading for pleasure, for profit, for a sure grasp of the past that made the present possible. " ― William Manchester About the Author The late Joy Day Buel was an editor and freelance writer. Richard Buel, Jr., is professor of history at Wesleyan University, Middletown, Connecticut.
