“This is a fine collection of essays on the Adamses and an excellent introduction to one of the most admired, despised, honored, and disrespected families in American history.” (Presidential Studies Quarterly, 1 June 2015)
“This is an excellent resource for any academic reference collection or special library with specialization in Colonial America, politics, or regional history.” (Reference Reviews, 1 January 2014)
