A lot of really great facts about the signers, even the really obscure ones. A great addition to anyone's early American history collection.

I really enjoyed learning about the 57 men who signed the Declaration of Independence. I thought the writers did a great job highlighting the most relevant parts of each man’s life. I learned a lot from this book and enjoyed it in the process. I’d recommend it for any American history buff.

Very good short bios on each of the signers. Dispels the myths surrounding them. The real stories are better and often humorous. It's not a long book making easier for anyone to read about those men who signed the Declaration of Independence.

This book was very informative. Feeding my hunger for knowledge on the men who signed the constitution and more about them than just what I’ve learned in government class. I’d recommend this book to history nerds everywhere.

A brief sketch of the lives of the men who signed the Declaration of Independence. Each essay was written as if it were the only one you might read, so some of the information can become a bit repetitive. Generally withheld judgment regarding lifestyles, including the number of slaves that may or may not have been owned, but still maintaining a modern day contempt for the practice. Nicely balanced. Interesting, and a good way to celebrate the 4th of July (which should be either the 2nd of July or 2nd of August, apparently. I'm okay with celebrating all three, purely in the interest of being the most fair, of course).
