so-soThis book brings to light a neglected Founding Father, that certainly deserves a more prominent place in our nation's psyche. The writing style was engaging at times, but not consistently.

pickBenjamin Rush was a physician who studied mental illness in addition to his other duties, signer of the Declaration of Independence (& son-in-law of another signer), instrumental in repairing the friendship break between Presidents John Adams and Jefferson, & a Philadelphia native buried near Benjamin Franklin. In spite of all that, little has been written or researched about him until this recent bio by Stephen Fried. Well-written & engaging. 👇
