Included in this section are Alexander's tragic childhood growing up in the Carribbean, his passage to America, his college training and his growing partisanship for independence. I have chosen to read this book in sections merely because it is cumbersome to carry around and my hands need a break. It is quite readable, though it is a well footnoted scholarly biography. I will be back.
I have now started Warleggan, the 4th book in the Poldark series by Winston Graham. So far, Caroline and Dwight are tip-toeing around each other, knowing they are very attracted to each other but also that they are from different worlds and Caroline's family would frown on such a match. George Warleggan is sniffing around Elizabeth, though she is of course married, and she reveals to Ross that she had been wrong--she had never really loved Francis.
