Editorial Reviews
Review
“A masterful account of the Easter conspiracy in 1802, barely mentioned in history textbooks.”–Arkansas Historical Quarterly
“A terrific book. . . . The author tells a dramatic and important story, firmly grounding his narrative in extensive primary research as well as a careful reading of the latest scholarship on early national Virginia and slavery.”–
William and Mary Quarterly“Well written and meticulously documented, the account of these two abortive revolutions will hold the interest of students and lay readers alike.”–
Publishers Weekly“Will be regarded as the definitive work on the plots of 1800 and 1802.”–
