I want to know more about Patrick Henry

I had not realized how much we owe Patrick Henry for the Bill of Rights. There is just enough in this book to encourage me to read further on the myth and reality of Patrick Henry, the fallout with George Washington, and just exactly what was the problem between James Madison and Patrick Henry. This is all briefly discussed in the book. Of course, the book was about Patrick Henry and could not possibly contain all this information. If you want to know just how important Patrick Henry was, and is, read this book. It will start you on a search separating myth from reality.

The most complete view of Patrick Henry's life

This book was written a long time ago yet is the best reference I've read so far. And the most open minded. It doesn't favor one founding father over another. It states the facts. This is a must for serious students of Patrick Henry.
