Description

Written by Pamela C. Copeland and Richard K. MacMaster, second edition 2016. The Five George Masons provides a comprehensive overview of five generations of the Mason family, beginning with George Mason I, who fled England following the defeat of the Royalists. Central to this volume is George Mason IV, who, while less celebrated than fellow Virginians George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, was one of America’s outstanding thinkers, legislators, and writers: and his ideals and legacy endure to this day.
