This nonfiction series is comprised of readable and informative titles on any aspect of the founding, development, and expansion of our country; as well as the events and the people who shaped it. It includes memoirs, military history, political controversy and environmental exposes, in short -- America's collective history.In the spring of 1793, young Nancy Randolph, the fetching daughter of one of the great Virginia tobacco planters, was accused, along with her brother-in-law, of adultery and infanticide. She was denounced as a Jezebel, and the great Patrick Henry and future Supreme Court Justice John Marshall were retained to defend her. Ordered off the plantation by her cousin John Randolph, a protege of Thomas Jefferson, and reduced to poverty, Nancy must find her way in a new and forbidding world. American history at its richest, this is as riveting and revealing a scandal as any in today's Washington.
