Reviews

"Newman has given us the best book yet on the so-called Fries rebellion, a 1799 uprising in the German-speaking counties of eastern Pennsylvania. Newman provides a thorough and frequently gripping narrative of the resistance and its aftermath."--Journal of American History "A well-researched, well-written account of this often-misunderstood episode from the late 1790s."--Journal of the Early Republic "A detailed, engaging history of the 1798-99 resistance in Pennsylvania to federal taxes... This welcome history established the singularity fo the Fries episode."--Choice
