The stories are interesting looks into the small back stories of Washington, Benedict Arnold and others. They add a little flavor to history. It is interesting that other than selling out West Point, Arnold was a highly ethical and very respected man. Unfortunately his ethics led him to support the British in the end.

The titles are a bit odd, but the back stories are interesting. If you live on the east coast, you might even find some local history you were unaware of. Fort Ticonderoga, Richmond, New York, even Paul Revere's family history. Definitely worth the time to read.
