Journal of American Revolution recommends Threshold to Valley Forge

I am grateful that the Journal of the American Revolution recommended my book, Threshold to Valley Forge: The Six Days of the Gulph Mills Encampment! http://www.thresholdtovalleyforge.com

The reviewer wrote that he “recommends this book for filling the void and doing so with a trove of wonderful excerpts and images. The primary accounts are numerous and specific to the period while the publisher presents the images in a welcome array of modern and period maps, old photographs and drawings, as well as numerous visual displays of the primary sources: official returns, original letters, advertisements, proclamations, and newspaper excerpts. This presentation is unique and appealing. Together, the sources and the visuals elevate Threshold to Valley Forge to a welcome addition to the Revolutionary War literature.”–Journal of the American Revolution

He also lauded the chapter about Gulph Mills’ role during the Valley Forge Encampment as “an enlightening addition to the history of the Gulph” and a “history rarely captured in Revolutionary War literature.”

He concluded that the book “is an admirable presentation of an important but often overlooked period of the Revolutionary War.”

Hope you pick up a copy at any bookseller or on Amazon. See more details about the book and upcoming events at http://www.thresholdtovalleyforge.com.
