Learning should always be this enjoyable. Reading Mortimer is as close as any 21st century reader (with even an ounce of imagination) can get to experiencing "what it was really like". p.s.- His Time Traveler's Guide to Medieval England is just as good. ~ Reviewed by Bill Lewis

A tragic and sordid story brilliantly explained in just 250 pages by a careful scholar. The kind of book that should be required reading for a wide audience seeking real understanding of the brutal racism and unstoppable avarice that emerged in colonial America and held center stage throughout the 19th century. ~ Reviewed by Bill Lewis

A tale so unlikely and so moving that it seems like fiction. The fact that it's true makes it even more amazing. The following overworked superlatives are appropriate: fascinating, informative, stirring, inspiring, and impossible to put down. A singular reading experience that you'll remember and recommend. ~ Reviewed by Bill Lewis

The past is often as real as the present. And talking to living eyewitnesses (all more than 100 years old) proves the point. An astonishing and hugely rewarding reading experience that makes us remember why we love history and reminds us to talk with older folks: they are, not were, history. ~ Reviewed by Bill Lewis
