Title: Must Read
Product review: To avoid repeating what all of the accurate and appropriate other reviews have mentioned, I will add just one thing. The most outstanding aspect of Carter's life, from my perspective, is just how completely radical he was for his time. It doesn't even seem that he meant to be, either. From before the war until his death he made decisions based on what was needed or important to him at that time. Even before he freed his slaves, his business matters, political and religious views, and family life all grew from somewhere profoundly different from everyone else around him. His life could have as easliy gone one of may different ways. He was conisdered eccentric and fell out of favor with his peers, but never did anything that by modern standards seems that odd. Without the excellent context the author provides, this would be completely lost.
