Title: Muhlenberg or not...
Review: I bought this book because I am a descendent of the Muhlenberg family... However, I never expected to enjoy it... This well written history is the first time I have been so close to the experience of the American Revolution since "Johnny Tremain". The struggles you just don't consider as a 21st century resident are strongly represented. Henry Melchoir Muhlenberg left his well-educated world in Germany to deal with an unstable and often unfriendly new world in Pennsylvania. He struggled to create the Lutheran church in America while raising his family and caring for a wife who suffered from seizures. His children went on to be extremely important men in history. Wonderful and important history which includes many notable figures (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Benedict Arnold, Alexander Hamilton, etc.).
