Riassunto

Remembering John Hanson re-illuminates the key Revolutionary War figure and Founding Father to whom George Washington reported when Hanson served as the first president of the original United States government. The first John Hanson biography in over seventy years and the best documentation ever on him, Remembering John Hanson spells out Hanson 's two nation-saving triumphs which kept the nation whole on the eve of independence and again as it struggled to form a government. Remembering John Hanson tells the astounding and tragic story of the destruction of Hanson's tomb and the author's rediscovery of its site in researching the book. Also covered are current efforts to rekindle the nation's memory of Hanson and Internet myths that have arisen about him in recent years. The first comprehensive biography of "the most forgotten major figure in American history," reading this volume is enriching. Michael's narrative presents . . . a torrent of information in fine detail . . . a rich trove about a major historical figure./Kirkus Reviews Some of the best information on Hanson I have ever seen./Edward Edelen, Founder, The John Hanson Institute A must read book, extremely well written, easy to follow and well documented. The "go to" book for anyone reseaching John Hanson and his life./Mary Jo Pundt, John Hanson genealogist This work represents the most comprehensive and - equally important - extensively documented exploration of the life and contributions of John Hanson.

Remembering John Hanson is also clearly and engagingly written, with excellent illustrations./Ralph Levering, Hanson scholar and Professor of History, Davidson College I have found your
