Thank you,sneakers! What part in the book are you at?I'm about a quarter from being done.He truly was a great man.You're lucky to have had a professor who taught a course on him! I'm ashamed to say that before this book,I hardly remembered John Adams.I guess the reason,I took a chance and bought it was because I used to work with a lady who on her mother's side is a descendant of John Adams.When I first bought the book and looked at the cover,I couldn't get over the family resemblence to my co-worker! Same coloring,shape of the eye,the mouth.And this girl was SO SMART - the real tell-tale sign that she was,in fact,a descendant of John Adams!

I'm still in the first 1/3 of the book. Yes, Dr. Wayne Smith, though a Civil War expert, taught a wonderful early American History class and used John and Abigail Adams as the focal point. He is retired now. Too bad. Truly a patriot. Probably couldn't deal with the liberal atmosphere so prevalent on campus.
