Summary: Comprehensive guide to Revolutionary War sites
Review: This book is very nicely done, both in content and in execution. The list of sites are very comprehensive and include states and locations which many Americans may not associate with the American Revolution, such as Maine and Tennessee. They could have done more with the Gulf Coast (the war was also waged in Florida, Alabama and Louisiana in and around the modern cities of Pensecola, Mobile, and Baton Rouge), but the fact they did as much as they have is to their credit. The only other flaw I saw was that while they provided web addresses for many sites, there are several who do not have their URLs listed, although they have sites of their own.If you're looking for a complete list of Revolutionary War sites all over the Eastern United States, this book is about as close as you will come to finding it. The lay out is very attractive and easy to read and there are a great deal of full color photos associated with many of the sites.

Summary: An Enthusiast's Dream
Review: With this book in hand, look up the state you're visiting and you won't miss any important Revolution sites. Having made pilgrimages to Boston, Philidelphia and Annapolis before I had this book, I can attest that as far as I know it left no major site unmentioned when I sampled the sections on these essential Revolution cities, and included many sites in more obscure locations one might otherwise miss. Great and abundant pictures make this a fine collectible for Revolution enthusiasts who have visited the sites as well as those who are unable but would like visuals.
