Great book for any American history buff. The lives of the famous (Andrew Carnegie and Clara Barton) and not famous are richly related and will keep you wanting to discover their fate. The heroism is detailed and some myths debunked. It's a terrific read not only for the history lover but for anyone who enjoys a good novel.
