Started the book, it filled in some blank spots in my historical knowledge, but it had waaaay too much information for me. I guess people would like these guys to be the Band of Brothers II, but at least in the part I read, 1811-1824, they were far too divergent to be seen as a team, maybe that changed later. The author seems to subscribe to the "they-held-the-country-together-when-they-left-the-moral-pygmies-ruined-it theory of American history.
