While this was a good story, I thought there was a lot of filler, significantly on the romance side, with some sex thrown in. As if we couldn't handle a historical novel without that.
I was pleased to see the author made Jacob Brown somewhat of a major character in the book. Brown was a Quaker and pioneer settler who became one of our best generals during the War of 1812, and later served as commanding General of the U.S Army from 1821 until his death in 1828. While he is rarely mentioned in history, he deserves to be. But the author spent more time on Winfield Scott. I'm prejudiced, as I put a lot of work into the Jacob Brown Wikipedia page.
