James S. Baugess of Columbus State Community College has a review of The Way of Improvement Leads Home in the May 2009 issue of The History Teacher. (It is not on-line). Baugess writes:
There is not much to criticize here, as Fea’s narrative is an easy read and makes for a pleasant experience, but the lack of a bibliography weakens the utility of the book for secondary teachers and community college instructors for use in their courses. Nevertheless, Fea succeeds in giving his readers keen insight into the life and mind of a diarist who left to Americans and the world a record of what it was like to live as a Christian amid the Enlightenment and the revolution.
I have always wanted to write a book that makes for a “pleasant” reading “experience.” Thanks!
