Great history lesson.
I have to admit that I learned most of my history researching Henry and his family. I just couldn’t get into the dates and names when I studied American history. It makes SUCH a difference to know that John Jay stayed with Henry and his wife right after Henry’s son died, and that he wanted Henry to take Jay’s son in while Jay was ambassador to Spain. Suddenly, history comes alive for me. Suddenly, I want to read EVERYTHING about John Jay.
