Query: Excellent, readable, well-sourced!

I am an avid reader of American History and a Maine resident. I have had the pleasure of hearing this author speak. He is an excellent writer of Maine history. This is a very readable book but still loses nothing in its accuracy. Mr. Leamon uses ample primary source documents. His quotes allow those that lived through this troubled time to be heard. His contribution to the history of the American Revolution in Maine is immense as he opens up a very underwritten topic. Most books approach this from the Massachusetts shared history point of view. Leamon does not! Loved the book!
