My husband bought the audio version of Meltzer and
Mensch’s novel about THE FIRST CONSPIRACY, The Secret Plot to Kill George
Washington for one of my Christmas presents. This is an excellent book for
those who would like to know about Washington’s struggles with rough untrained
troops, disease, and lack of pay for his soldiers. The schemes and intrigues fueled
by the British Governor and Mayor of New York against George Washington are revealed
in detail by these authors. I’m grateful that I listened to this account, and I
will listen, again and again, so I highly recommend this audio version, for Scott
Brick provides an excellent reading.
Happy President’s Day to you! We have so much to be
grateful for and a blessed nation despite the problems that assail us. I
appreciate our freedom and prosperity that we owe in part to those who gave so
much of themselves like our former President George Washington.
