content: One minute you are standing beside Dolly Madison breathing the acrid smoke of burning buildings in DC, the next in a mud bog watching the White House tea set being buried, then a headspinning rip through time to current generations seeking the tea set. Dynamite igniting, people dying, history being relived and right when you almost have your hands on the Paul Revere silver beauty.....well -- you MUST read this book. This is the best of the best. I am making my way through all of Martin's books -- and I have not yet been disappointed.
