First Principles offers a compelling glimpse into the education of Washington, Jefferson, Adams, and Madison. Ricks’ down-to-earth writing style steers away from the worship that is often conferred upon the founding fathers, and instead paints them as the flawed humans they were. His meticulous research and elegant prose bring the world of colonial America to life, and shed light on the ancient ideals upon which the United States was founded. ~ Reviewed by Digby Baker-Porazinski
