A review by mommagray
The Amazing Age of John Roy Lynch by Chris Barton

5.0

A powerful book about reconstruction, a man who went from slave to US Congressman in ten years, and how this first small progress quickly fell short. Growing up in the south, I feel my education around this time period is rather biased, and this book was a nice antidote to that. My children 13, 11, 10 and 6 also enjoyed it.
