Reviews
of Taming
Democracy
"This is a rare book--scholarly yet written with verve,
readable for pleasure as well as for knowledge."
--Publishers Weekly
"With keen insight
and deep research, Terry Bouton recovers a lost world: the agrarian democracy
of revolutionary America.
His vivid prose illuminates the struggle of common people to fulfill the
promise of the American Revolution. By retelling their story so fully and
fairly, Bouton renews their cause in our present day."
--Alan Taylor, author of The Divided Ground
"For many ordinary
Americans living in Pennsylvania,
the Revolution did not turn out as they had hoped. Committed to the creation
of a more egalitarian society, they resisted British rule, only to discover
that the rich and well-born had no interest in supporting serious democratic
reform. In this compelling study, Bouton brings passion and insight to the
bittersweet story of the betrayal of a truly revolutionary society."
--T.H. Breen, Director, Center for
Historical Studies, Northwestern University
